No comparison, although the Lightness can compete but youngsters have to be weaned before the end of January.

I got mine from Swainstons a couple of years ago.

Fantastic effort to all involved.

34/40 from Selby 173 miles. Came in 2s & 3s then just stopped. None since 3pm yesterday. Vel 1176

Alex there's no chance of Dougie being loft manager as that's the wife's part time job

Tam, Only £800 first prize due to being lower entries than normal. I think the distance put the sprinters like yourself off.

I timed 7 h 36 mins for 315 miles £1405. Karen Newcombe 7 h 32mins for 310 miles £2300 then W Pryde & son 7 h 45 for 306 miles £455 then about a dozen in the next half hour.

Cheers all. I'm over the moon having hit the bar a few times. A great day for racing and 21 birds from 57 entered timed in under 2 hours, just goes to show the distance isn't a problem when weather, wind and conditions are perfect. Pentland Fed officials leading from the front AGAIN.

Plenty room for ye. I'm sure ye'd get in a club too :D

Aye we'll need a wee bit of luck but great day for it. Specialist racing not for the faint hearted!

Three Derek. Only 57 doos in convoy flying for over £5000.

Birds Liberated at 06:10 from Harlow 300+ miles L/S/W- wind.

NATIONAL SERVICE FOR THE LAZY

Why dont you all lib together

Picked up the Pentland youngster today for club member Rab Marinello. In great condition many thanks.

41/42 from Wetherby libbed 0630.

Sighthill down to a 146 from nearly 400 2 weeks ago.

For me in sprint racing it's all about systems and position and wind direction on the day. Flying in a Fed like mine where the majority are inland fanciers (to the coast), flying for big money every week the competition is as hot as you'll get anywhere in the country, I've found that some breeds of sprint pigeons can't hack a head wind or a lack of sun, or a bit of rain. However I've tried a lot of them over the years and for me the Van Reets tick all the boxes, weather/wind conditions.
