Best to be safe Murray, always another day for training. It is all about making that good call, well done mate.Murray wrote: ↑Tue Jul 01, 2025 8:48 am It's been a rough, cold June, and July is starting in a similar fashion.
I took the young birds out for a fly after lunch. I didn't get 10 miles up the road and stopped and got out. It was a howling wind. So I turned around and came back.
I let them go at the football field two streets over from my place.
I wasn't keen about letting them go in that, they fly very low in strong head winds and I could see something garroting itself on a wire.
It's been the coldest June in Canberra, the Capital, since 1939, possibly ever.
Life in St Arnaud
It turned out quite nice today, so I took the young birds, plus two younger ones that have really come along well, out for a decent fly after lunch.
There was a side wind, but they dropped on the board together at 1150 yards per minute.
I was quite happy with that.
