To make things more difficult the finish points move round the Forest every year, and the start point is kept a secret until moments before the races begin. The riders are told to meet-up at a particular place, then they are led through the Forest to the starting point. Sometimes the riders aren\u2019t sure where to head, and they can all set-off in different directions.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; last=&#8221;last&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>My First Point to Point<\/h2>\n<h3>Raymond Bennet<\/h3>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-57-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newforestmemories.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Raymond-Point-Point.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newforestmemories.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Raymond-Point-Point.mp3\">https:\/\/www.newforestmemories.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Raymond-Point-Point.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-110\" title=\"raymond_bennett_drift\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newforestmemories.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/raymond_bennett_drift.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" \/> Raymond is a well-known commoner living in the north of the forest.
