Well done Andy, good to see he contributing to the costs, hoping all missing ones turn up safely, not a bad result at all considering winds etc

When you look at the fed sheet you can see even top flyers struggle with the winds, Templar, Wilcox, Rogers even Booth and Roper, the maps do show the hard work the birds have to put in hopefully the winds will drop or change for the better

The velocities drop off quickly. The winning velocity is the combine was 1479. The 50th was 1255. Our club winning velocity was 1169!!
The forecast for next weekend at the moment is for a light NW wind. Should keep them down our way better. We’re back to Stoney Stoke just 34 miles for me.
Fingers crossed for it

Basically a double distance for them with the drag and then to get back on line
