20.30 into the south section after that we will need to wait and see.

Gloucester Fed are taking 2hrs 26mins to do 149miles and at that rate there will be pigeons into Scotland tonight earlier than we predict. ( 10.30mins) .And lets not forget yesterday,s race from Tarbes when the race conditions were similar  and they were timing pigeons into York 748 miles on the night.

Was just thinking the same myself better not to be too far from the loft tonight just in case if you have doos away

weather seems better down south,, its cold and  pouring down here in the lothians ,,,right to newcastle   ,,lets hope it clears up, as the last 100 miles [after doing 500 odd miles ] will prove difficult

dont whant to scare but  the weather  has  changed  in the cental belt  easterly winds picking up hope the birdS make it in to scotland  

All the best to all who have entered been in Edinburgh 2day, heavy rain, back in Fife now, heavy rain

Rain is off through on this side of the country now.i'm just back up from the loft and quite a strong east wind blowing across the park

a tough race this one, good luck to all who entered
