Last minute Maze in the Maize news...





The course is cut and we're good to go! To put one of these together you need a very understanding farmer, some very careful planning, and a bit of luck. You also need some pretty fancy equipment - to cut the course through the 160 acres of Maize we needed to bring in a huge German built Forager (costing a mind blowing £100,000!) fitted with a special Maize cutter head another (costing another £35,000!). The cut crop, hundreds of tons of chopped maize, then has to be hauled away to storage by a team of tractors & trailers. It's worth the effort though and with the weather looking good too riders and organisers can't wait for tomorrow!

Look forward to seeing you there
