Xmas Race From Dunbar

[tommy bhoys]

A lot of thinking to be done with this wee venture, but im sure we can pull together a cracking race and bit of enjoyment for all. Big Tommy was shocked to hear that he is flying almost the same distance as me as he thought id have 9 miles off him. Dunbar is the fairest race point east to west, no obvious advantage to anyone lads, lets get involved and look forward to a wee race at XMAS time.

but your so proud of the scottish champs tonight get it rite up you ian :emoticon-0136-giggle:

90 miles to mid Ayrshire

[Kyleakin Lofts]

Just yards under 80 miles to me in Lugton. Probably the most even race point East to West.

Not decided yet but the birds will have to be marked the night before because of the lack of daylight, they will have to be there early doors to await on the lib. Its dark at 3.30pm at that time of year.
