mart Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 anyone sent to this let us know if you get one ?
Guest snookbri Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 I would say 491 as the crow flies Pete from Crewe to Lerwick Very very close, 489.9 miles between CW1 AND ZE1 postcodes.
Guest paulrstokes Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Pete, I would be hoping 10 to 12 hours to see one back, but this is one racepoint when you think they will do it in 10 they take 14, and when you think they will do in 14 they do it in 10. Frankdooman, where are you?? and is the mist clearing or not??

Frankdooman, where are you?? and is the mist clearing or not?? they would hopefully be well past Frank Dooman by now - in Redcar its hazy - but visibility isn't bad (I can see the hills but not the individual trees - I would be able to see them if visibility was excellent) however it is rather warm

Guest paulrstokes Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Pete. I think with permission from the Sec your clock can be done at your own club. Water is a good question, a lot used to think they took the shortest route to land, however some think that they will do the first 250 to 300 miles across water, coming inland at around Berwick. I think as they are up in a light east wind they will follw the coastline down.
Guest Freebird Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 East Coast Edinburgh area light mist lifted around an hour ago and very warm. If they come ashore at Berwick then that is a lot of water they have flown over. Suppose it depends on weather but usually misty on the east coast when warm and easterly wind. I would think this must be one of the hardest liberation points given the prevailing westerly winds. Good luck to all who are flying.
