Dave's in Somerset Pete, so if he's been to his local corn store I'd be guessing it's close to him

Barcelona to North Derbyshire isn't out of the question - look at Tony Mather

Yep, good point Mike.

Whereabouts in the UK is he based (region not town). My ambition is to one day time in from Barcelona - it’s 800+miles to me in Derbyshire.

Got that very same ambition Pete - Its 730 to me
here in Northamptonshire. Its still likely to be a year or 2 away yet for me but I have one or 2 that might go this year depending on their build-up
Hope to meet you someehere on that journey mate.
Do you send with the Bicc?

That’d be good Dave. Don’t do BICC yet. I’ve only had one YB season so I’m still very much at the novice stage finding my way. I had one midlands national race from Chale and that’s it. Barcelona is just over 800 to me. This back end I’ve bought stock birds that are up to it in terms of bloodlines so it’s up to me to get them right now. I’ll breed as many as I can this year and look to have a steady run until they’re 3 year olds. I don’t expect anything but it’s still my ambition so let’s see.
