Lets hope we get a break in the forcast our youngbirds havent been out since last Thursday if its dry in the morning they will go out but this morning a peragrine went over the allotments we fly on so we will have to keep a look out for it.

have had mine up to 15 miles at the moment, lost one training.
But now this weather is going to keep knocking them back as all need is a little consistency in the weather.
Hopefully it will change in our favour sooner or later.
39 now in my team.

i took 44 for there first chuck last night about 3 miles so difficult with this weather they took 12 minutes so but 3 minutes after letting them up and driving down the road the heavens opened and relieved they got back at all!

have 10 later ones which of which 9 will get started at some point this week or early next.
