Ian McKay Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 450 to 500+ No chance not in that wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybee Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 548 miles to me Mike. Very strong northerly winds all the way today but I'd expect a few to be in before 11am wednesday and I wouldnt rule out the odd exception of one or two going through the night. All the best to those who sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johno Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 i think all in the race are flying 500+ miles. this with the limited daylight is likely to mean no day birds. decent returns is what is needed. the wind will make this a real tester. looks like the rain is not going to be as continual as it has been. everyone wo has sent is still the potential winner. good luck.
