If they go Saturday I'd guess at 3hrs 5mins but it will be a very different race Sunday or Monday as the wind is changing.

Is there any other member, that can put their loft forward for the comp this week please.

Our Federation made the decision today to basket Sunday for a Monday liberation, frustrating but I'd rather that than no race at all. The birds well being must come first, it's a bit early in the season to start throwing birds away unesecerilly so I think it's the right call.

Could we go with your loft Trev, it would be a great help. Thanks mate.

You can use mine if you want Dev but mine is only from 34 miles. At the moment still going tonight for tomorrow. Looking like there may be a window to liberate around midday.
