Me and Andy will be there saturday morning about 11am, probably everyone will stay away ;D Chris if your there I have a product I would like to discuss with you
I think the van loons are great breed, if crossed into right family 500 miles no problem. My best bird flew 500 twice on day(one14 hours 20mins) he was from Van loon cock(diect out of Frank Aarts Vice president) x Stichbault.
Also the late great Derrick Fenwick of Shotton North Wales excelled at 600 miles with the van loon, I bought a grandson of his original van loon at his berevement sale. Think this was Planet brothers.
So if not too old I would try them.
£75 hotel, £31 train one way got lift home, taxi was bad this year bet £30 plus, food as only do b&b £25, then beer??????? not clue but if counting then not good weekend.
