Lots and lots of Defenders at Burghley last weekend… but with a smattering of Discoverys thrown in as LR have sent 400+ to the Rugby World Cup which they also sponsor.

The 130 just looks wrong and out of place in a UK setting like Burghley.

That 130 must be an Outbound

It looks like she is in the Stables compound where all the courtesy vehicles are kept. I was part of the team organising all the marshals who make sure that the horses get priority over cars and people.

After seeing the new 130 in the flesh, i think the proportions look better than the 110

I agree the 130 in the flesh looks better proportioned than the 110 especially when it has a gear career and Ladder. For some strange reason it's not very photogenic. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

you are assuming the panel is strengthen all the way along.
The reason for the ladder being placed where it is, on all models, is due to strength in the neighbouring door aperture pressing. |

To those who have been, is there a good selection of trade stalls?

Not been to Burghley, but the trade stalls at Blenheim and Badminton have always been decent

There is a huge shopping village, you could spend all day just looking at the stalls and not even see a horse. |
