well mine been doing 2hours a night easy for the past month or so so im basket training them for the next week then ill take them 5miles down the road a few times till there beating me home then keep moving them on need get my ybs well trained this year to see if my stock were any good to me

mine go out once a day while they are on the dark, and are fed once a day.......they are doing very little exercising but then again they always do this every year until they come off the dark........im not too bothered about this because i know within a week of coming off the dark i will have them doing 2 hours ranging and exercising around the loft.

once they are ready i will do what i did last year and take them a couple of miles down the road just to get them used to coming out of the basket, theis will build up to 12 miles then in with the club trainers.........

They are all on dark till the longest day then they will be left to there own devices

ah right..........do you happen to know when the longest day is ?

I think its the 21st of this month but aint to sure.

yes every saterday is the longest day just now david lol. the races are getting longer and harder flying in this north east winds . so every saterday is the longest day at the moment

The longest day of the year is June 21st

London's sunrise on June 21 is at 4:42 a.m. and sunset is at 9:20 p.m.

thanks v/r man and barry..........i think your right gary, saturdays are the longest day arnt they.

this last three races has been a nightmare david . i have been glad to see the start of them coming back after 9 hours in the wing i start to worry but most was 11 hours on the wing last week .

mine go out once per day at the moment and exercise for about 90 mins and have started to disapear out of sight for most of that time ,i like to train first thing in the morning as i seem to always get a strike when i train at other times ,just starting to increase daylight hours and they should be off the dark within a week then i will start a few tosses at 5 miles and double the distance when i feel they are ready to move on atb to everyone for the yb season
