First run I see now complete
We started the day with high winds and grey sky's. The run was changed from a triple to a double to allow for the changing winds. As the morning has progressed the winds have dropped and sun started to shine. The run was a double mark with a long bird to the right and short bird to the left. The long bird was hard to mark especially early in the morning and most dogs needed to be handled. Only one or two dogs picked up the birds without a handle.
We lost two dogs numbers 1 and 3.
Run two is a pyramid triple left mark long centre blind and right blind. The blinds are rabbits pick up long centre blind, right blind and mark last. The terrain is a mixture of bracken Gause bush and fallen timber.
