That’s bad
North here is easy I can’t moan
South we can get m25 after 16 miles then you just hope you time it right

Is that route you take the line of flight or all you can do to get a training toss in
I know you explained before how your distances work from memory it was all the same to a break in the landscape then distances from there if i remember correctly

First for me today for the cocks, just 12 miles. East wind and only 13 degrees. No drama.
Hope to take the hens tomorrow but they are all just going back down to nest again - is that a good idea to take them? Still not got the 1st round babies away yet either???

Given the type of racing that you're interested in Dave I'd say you've got a bit of time on your side yet.

But that's why you win though Worm

Others will take an easier option and then think of every excuse under the sun on a Saturday night as to why they aren't in the shake-up

Thanks Mike, I would agree but I was hoping to get a few of the yearling hens into the 1st Bicc Guernsey and to do that I would prefer to get the 1st two inland races which start on the 12th.
Bicc start too early imo.

If that's the case then you're probably best to get them moving then
