they have all been to the distance of this race Mick , all be it 3 have only been once . my thinking behind not training so far is .... its damn cold and i feel it would take the "pop" out of them ,if i am right ,well we will see
bloomin snow i think ? ,darn rural location with pee poor internet connection ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
thanks to Alan for letting the guys know spoilt my Friday night dram too , having a glass to drown my sorrows
UP-DATE , now flying fairly well .i would consider fit enough (under the circumstances) .hoping to get them a few short training chucks in soon ,a little over 2 weeks to go . out for around 5 hours daily , although have kept them in until at least 10 am now ,the hawk is around before that time (and is hopefully finding a meal elsewhere) .currently still on a yb mix , looking to add ,then change that shortly.
theres a 32 x 6 ft one in Northumberland advertised in this weeks B.H.W. ,a Blakes loft ,doesnt look very old 4 sections,24 nest boxes ,and 56 lift off perches .looks very good for the money.
