DJWa Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 looks ok apart from the y/b national give a thought to the lads in the north section some flying around 400 miles from buckingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dal2 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Looks ok. No sure about Cherbourg for sea weather? perhaps further inland? Think the Ypres race would have to be included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Basin View Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Looks a good programme, race points central to English south coast, regardless of wind should get over the water into the UK then they can make there way up country whether they go up the east, middle or west, and hopefully results will show a good spread across all sections. Would like to see Y/bird back to Leicester, better distance for the further flyers so as not to get shut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster J. Cogburn Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I don't think it would be a bad idea to make the first inland race from Peterborough, inkeeping with the biggest percentage of the Scottish feds. Whether they would want to go wi the national is a different story mind you Apart from that I think Maidstone,Alencon,Ypres and Clermont are working pretty well.

hotrod Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I think it's ALL about returns and races , Ypres has been the most successful / best race on the Callander since it's inception , why do think this is , ok it's a short channel race , I'm more in the belief that it's more to do with bops along the south coast of England picking them off turning them back u name it , but further round the corner so to speak they are maybe getting a wee break and getting accross into mainland Britain . It's just a theory of mine .so would like to see more races from that route on that basis only . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
