have been in 2 minds about it Wiley ,wanted to try last year ,but chickened out .have had some tips ....... but not in a position to follow them through .so its a wing and a prayer method .candidates not been out for a good few weeks .hope to get them out on Sunday for a bath .will then look at a routine ,dependant on weather etc.

Be very interesting to hear how the training, motivation, exercise regime works out. I admire the organisers and participants of the race and hope for a break in the weather nearer race time. AW THE BEST

hoping to loft fly them as much as is possible ,daily in most weathers and temperatures with the exceptions of fog or heavy rain .if i notice there condition going down ,may regulate that.
