Hi

 

Anyone know what the Sennon Cove race with the BBC was like this weekend,

 

Was it a good race, and what were the returns like

It was a tough one in our neck of the woods Mick, with an east to SE wind on their nose the whole way home. However I had 3/4 on the day of liberation and they were in pretty good nick on return, especially as they had at least a 7 hour fly under their belts. I believe the winners were in the Bristol area and were doing in the low 1100s velocity wise. Cheers

The winner is a Mr Goss of Devizes doing 1152  early times and report is on the BBC website    www.britishbarcelonaclub.co.uk

The early times were available Sat night. I had 2/3 on the Sat one at 4.25 and one at 7.15

Difficult race into South Dorset with only four out of 11 members of the Weydor Specialist club, which duplicates into NFC, BBC and CSCFC races, timing in. Only 11 birds were recorded on the day out of around 60 sent which isn't good. We took first place doing just over 30mph and then waited for an hour before getting another from 12 sent and our second took fourth place with Jim and Lyn Peters taking 3rd and 4th. We finally got six on the day but only one since and missing several which scored in the CSCFC from Ramsgate couple of weeks ago.

Down here we're hoping for some north in the wind this Saturday when we're at Truro with the CSCFC (North East would probably suit us best !) but from the forecast it looks like a due south so they will probably steam up into Bristol again and fly a dog-leg to get back to us.
