I don't....yet, but will clearly be something to invest in. A couple of us are going to have a bit of a recce at some point in the next couple of months and a good drive around. We might do a bit of initial clearing and then get a club involved.

Thanks for the feedback, there's plenty of ideas there. We are actually looking into leasing some of the land for a horse riding school, with some hacks and eventing type routes. However, this is not something that we will run. Caravans will not be a problem. We already own a caravan site...
