nothing to do with that  birds will come from a to b where possible unless somthing stops them ie bop in the hills.

 

before we raced east 6 or 7 years ago and were on the west side the birds had already started  going up the easterly more safer side. If you read my post it says that it was starting to happen 25  plus years ago and has gotten steadily worse.

 

If i train my bird 50mls east most times nowadays i get them in the exspected time.

 

unfortunatly nowadays if i go 50mls south sometimes im lucky to get them at all and are scattered and take days.

Im sure the East - North - East wind helped slightly..

considering the number away and the strong east in the wind im sure this contributed to the good west section positions acheived   . Put a bit of west in it and then try to get them through the hills when there more spaced out and flying lower :)

so that takes them up the west side where stb said the bop stops them, come on bop everywhere race back down the west and you will see alot more west coast boy's on the result.

If you had said that to me a month ago.. i would have probably agreed.. now i really really just dont know which direction i think we should race in..

 

Pros and cons for any direction..

 

I do think tho, that if we all put as much energy in to campaigning for a controlled cull of the BOPs as we do arguing over.. 'whos got it hardest'..'whos the best' or 'where to go'... then we might make a major step forward in the saving of our sport..

If there wernt the amount of bop and the birds didnt get trapped in the hills i would be the first one to go straight down the m74 ,  but alas no more :o :o

how does the bop not hunt in e/n/e wind.

 

Never said that.. Just with so much east in the wind you would expect a few West boys to be well up..

why don't the 2 nationals join together for there  inland races  6 0f them    then  go with the unc for  the  six races  across the  water,  that way  at yer agms,  you would only have the  one agenda,  distance racing,    tay yer  hearts content  no need to  depend on the lanarkshire  and such  like feds  then the lanarkshire would  take all the rest of the sound in mind   sprinting   out  to  380 -  400 mile we allready have the sections  ;D ;D ;D
