Provisional Result for Honiton Young Bird Race – 30/7/22

Subject: Honiton Convoyers Report

Having left Test Valley at 23:30 we made our way to the Honiton lib site arriving at 01:15, with all the drinkers filled we got our heads down.
I was up at 05:00 to be greeted with thick mist all around vis possibly 200 yds.
Now to elaborate on the lib news that may have confused some of you.
With the sun beginning to show in the East at 05:50 the mist slowly started to melt away but a heavy bank of thick cloud coming in from the West, by 06:30 the mist had virtually cleared but the cloud was almost upon us.
At 06:40 with full cloud overhead but blue sky and the sun now well up in the sky to the east the birds were away, by the time we had checked all crates for stragglers the single batch of birds were so far to the east any pictures would be useless. (I will video next week)
The journey back was clear with good visibility all the way.
My thanks to JJ our new weather forecaster for his Meteorological Guesstimation spot on mate.
