Bit of a mystery to me also Hal why they appear to have so many short ones type of thing. Maybe thou we shouldn't be so judge mental etc as we do see things from afar & our ways on average are some what different I suggest .

just the early races soon stretch out ,we have a 13 race old bird programme have to keep all happy short,medium and long ...less birdage now on the longer races so theirs fewer of them just not viable with cost I suppose ,like the medium distance races best 200-400

we got nowhere to go boys, 70mile where ever you live and you paddling, one turn round loft and you go from 1st to 6th in this club

Yes I suppose it depends on location and number of fliers. Here the longer races cost extra to ship because of lack of numbers. Old birds out today open loft. On the ground then fielding. Then flying over an hour. Then another hours as a Cooper hawk started to take an interest. Then at least 15 buzzards sitting on the shed roof. Looking at the cat carcasses in the field. Open loft again tomorrow. Then first toss Monday. 20 miles. Regardless of weather. 1st race May 5. 115 miles.

more paddling than redrog oz not jolly rog reason i fly north to get distance inland ...even the racepoint fraserburgh which is inland but in scotland and where the liberation point is situated means they have more water to cover than some parts of the english channel and nothing more testing than a lerwick pigeon ours do 600 mile not the 500 or less that most nrcc winners do atb
