We deffo have a problem with the cumbrian hills....we jump them with the old birds which has worked out well but we have two races from Sedbergh (Kilington lake services ) which makes us a bit nervous. Around the village we have been proactive with the problems and attacks have decreased noticeably. I am of the opinion that a stinker can and will pop up at any point especially with yb as they try to navigate weather etc and that's not a new thing but the lack of later birds and next day returnees is a bit of a mystery. ...some weeks getting them steady for the first hour then it becomes a struggle. ...this must be bop driving the birds off line which is Bourne out by some of the birds getting reported from all directions. Also no a big fan of crossing across the country .....too much to go wrong for me
