Now Now Stuart, I must reply and clarify your comment on the escape and quote "Pentland were going before that". Having spoke to our race controller at the time "of the escape" The poor quality string burst on the escape basket Loanhead No 5 basket and the club were notified of the situation immediately. This was long before our race controller deemed it suitable to liberate our pigeons,as at that time he was in contact with me due to the situation. However we in the east didn't have the situation of possible rain in the afternoon as could've happened in your area, so your decision to liberate is yours on your experience of being a race controller and the circumstances on the day, your shout as they say. Just thought I should clear this up for the benefit of the Pentland Fed members.
