After missing the first cross channel event due to the weather we made it last weekend to Talbenny in South Wales expecting a fairly hard race in the North West wind. The NIPA delayed the release until 12.30pm looking for the best conditions but got a similar race as East Down who had liberated earlier at 9.15pm. Only around half the convoy made home lofts on the day and the winners in Mid Antrim took around six hours for the 220 miles. It was the hardest race to date and a lot of lofts will struggle to see out the season at the end of the month. Best in Mid Antrim was the Milliken & Barkley team in Rasharkin who recorded velocity 1052, their 2 year old Dark Cheq cock was sitting on eggs, bloodlines were Van Wildemeersch and Schloperhurst x Braspenning through Danny Dixon.
