Well our penultimate race was supposed to be Lyndhurst but was moved to Blandford due to not being able to get on site at Lyndhurst. I had 11 of my 12 remaining youngsters away with the hope of being able to finish the season on a high after last weeks win but with the North wind it was always going to be a big ask. My first bird (last weeks winner) turned up in just under 2hrs which I thought was a reasonable time, I had to wait 20mins for another one then had 6 within a couple of minutes so expected the other 4 to follow but had to wait another 2hrs for my 8th bird. At night fall I was still 3 out, one of these is a little hen who has had every race so I'm a bit upset that she hasn't made it back, the other 2 I'm not that surprised about. Anyway as I suspected I didn't get that second youngbird win as Laurie Everett was 5 minutes in front and took the chequered flag again with Secretary Roy taking the 2nd spot so well done to them. It was a bit iffy on returns as all members had birds missing again last night including birds that flew last weeks longest race so fingers crossed a few turn up today.
