everyone to their own whats i say my birds have been on roundabout for 6 or 7 years now as i find it easiest as i work away for 5 to 6 months of the year and it suits my sister & son as its easy to follow and simple straight forward and it has worked well for me, i let my birds raise one youngster then remove the 2nd round eggs after 5 days or so when they are starting to sit tight and split the birds and thats them on roundabout until 2 days before the longest club race and i let them have another youngster, tweek the roundabout system to suit yourself john

pottered with the birds when i was a kid but gave them up at leaving school age , got them back in 1994 and started racing in 1995, always remember my first win which was in 1996 young bird last race from northallerton 237 miles and i took the top 5 positions,(su 96 su 1387 blue pied cock) but every race i get a buzz just seeing them folding their wings back and hitting the trap from whatever race point regardless the time or position. and i still stand out waiting on them in all weathers john

snow showers here and quite breezy n cold in morayshire john

good post alf, interesting im considering sending this year but as i work offshore im not always home & im concered that they wont reach the condition needed to compete, ive had a few people say that i should send but will wait n see, but its interesting to see how some get their birds conditioned for across the water john
