Posted on the NIPA website, The N.I.P.A. are in St. Malo for their National race, the birds have been liberated at 6-15am in blue sky and sunshine and no wind. In the Guernsey area the wind is west to south west 3 to 4 with broken cloud and sun shine, in the English channel the wind is west to south west force 4 to 5 occasionally 6 and that is the same as the Bristol channel. There is to be heavy showers in Ireland from midday on, so it is clear the whole way to the Irish coast. Best of luck folks
