Shame that, I had the only 2 birds in race time in the York clock station in the NFC, in my first ever YB National race way back in 1988 flying 316 miles.

Well done

Horrible race point not many know more than Nigel Rigiani and he told me it’s crap no run up to the sea and ybs should not be flying from there unless they have the wind up the bum

I always did well out of there, many wins, but i can also acknowledge that Guernsey has been the host of some horror races in the past

Can only say what Nigel said
You need the wind or birds ready to cross

They've banned pigeons from an 8 mile radius of the airport.
it'll be interesting to see how they enforce that on the seagulls.

Guernsey, especially with a drop of East in it was always tricky

Having been to Guernsey I've seen how quickly and how erratic the pockets of visibility changes
