Birds liberated at 8.30 am in a light NW wind increasing in speed the further north they go.

Will update when I get one!

Not a great race, I don't know what is happening with racing these days. Was 6th club, 6hrs 37 mins for 245 miles

 

Only 3 home from 8 sent. My best 2 hens nowhere to be seen. Disappointing day

Sorry Andy - 1 yesterday morning and one this morning - one of my good hens came yesterday - very thin - the other one still missing. 

5/8 - I remain hopeful 

Two races for this coming weekend and not looking forward to them
