So it looks like 2026 is going to be down the SW route, looking for suggestions for the full weeks feeding from build-up throughout, to return. Only inland sprinting, any easy to follow suggestions.
I forgot to say my team will be a mixture of yearlings & ybs competing in ob racing, that's chucked a spanner in the works.

At that distance in predominantly tail winds I don’t think that it matters what you feed as it will be over in the blink of an eye a local fancier now sadly gone who was as successful as anybody locally, used to get his birds down to Fareham on a thin feed as he knew it would take very little if anything out of them he would stiffen it a little if there was any north in it

I wouldn't over feed
I would make sure the birds were trapping like rockets whole team through trap in 3 seconds or so
Wouldn't feed Friday
Half a turn that distance n someone on there game in fed will put a batch in front of ya ,

So is that down into Cornwall ?
How far do you get flying east across the East coast

Hello Neil, so we are essentially a South Road Club, but the coast is only to me about 44mls, so we normally go across Stoney Cross out to Ramsgate, it's very rare that we go out that far as for one it doesn't get supported because NFC, BICC, BBC & Classic members don't sent with the Combine they'll send with the bigger organisation. Yes down into Cornwall.

Not Devon & Cornwall Neil, that would be the 3 Counties which I think Andy is a member of, I think we cover Bristol, Crewkerne, Chippenham, Bath area so a large area covered.

That’s where I’m getting confused I was thinking you might be flying against a loft 30 odd miles from the race point as I know he raced only 34 miles loads of times

I think that was probably Exeter so would of been very short to him & other members , he's a member of the 3 Counties so he would still have some short races with them, I think they race from Wincanton, Stoney Cross.

Ya Peterborough District fed over 3000sq miles the norfolk and Suffolk is 3500sq miles
So sprint racing is tough because you can absolutely race out ya skin and still not top fed ,it's not normal racing compared to real sprint racing.
