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

When The going gets tough The N/E boys do well Look at Alencon 632mls. Tours 700+ My cash would be on J Donaldson  Sun mid-day or there abouts

Quoted from Cock Of The North

Quoted from ALF

Looks like it's the only 1 into Scotland tonight Vic from Tours

As I said earlier on Alf, I have never experienced a distance race, like our Niort race today. What was  the cause? Must be the 64,000 dollar question.

How many home from Niort Vic? how you do?

Well done to this pigeon from Tours, game one

Just got to look at radar pics to see what they hit. Congratulations to everyone who got a bird Tours/Ypres.

Three out of nine, 2nd & 3rd club. But four 1st  distance prize winners haven't shown up. Whatever happenned? Worst Niort (return wise) I've  ever experienced, taking the    southerly wind into account.
