Derwent Valley 2nd Race today from Leyland 78Ml.expecting Lib.@12:00hrs. Lindsay. ps.Went with first six tickets here last season,that's something to live upto.

Poor sort of morning here,light South wind , Just above 2c. cloud cover to the West ,Lake District fells blacked out,hope the sun burns the rubbish away. Lindsay(Dearham, Cumbria.)

I sent 16 with the intention of having a good race and getting 16 back,anything other than that would have went in the bin or stayed at home till they were in condition to come back.

Got them away safe and sound,even got our basket back that they forgot to drop off last week.Six members 125 birds. Good luck everyone. Lindsay

Hi Gareth,would you not send driving cocks with big young birds,I've had some good races that way. Lindsay

Hi Wings ,what part of the North are you from,has you can see I'm from Cumbria.

Just been sorting sheet out for tomorrows race from Leyland (78ml).Eight cocks and eight hens flying natural,might be a slight adjustment when I basket them. Where are you racing from and how many are you sending ? Good luck and good returns. Lindsay.

Plenty of time yet mate,I would say about four weeks before your first race,keep your eye on the weather forcasts,if it's going downhill you can always sneak a couple of tosses in. Lindsay

Hi mate,is the bird paired on ,if not show it one of the op.sex before you train it. Lindsay.

Best of luck with the racing this weekend lads and lasses,most of all good returns,I was well pleased with mine last week ,just out of tickets and dropped one out of thirteen. Weather wise for the 17th.@Leyland our race point this week. Sat 17 Apr BST 01:00 3 mph W 3 C 04:00 5 mph WSW 3 C 07:00 6 mph WSW 4 C 10:00 9 mph W 10 C 13:00 13 mph W 12 C 16:00 14 mph W 12 C 19:00 9 mph WNW 10 C 22:00 6 mph W 5 C Lindsay.

Mine are the same ,least movement in the sky no what type of bird and they go like hell,when they land they run into the loft out of harms way,going to be a bad season for a lot of good fanciers. Lindsay.

As long as your happy mate that's all that's wanted,especially 100% returns. what time was the winner in please ? Lindsay.

Beautiful place Scotland ,spent a lot of time in the Dalkieth, Pitlochrey, Aberfeldy area in my younger days. This is where I live. http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=lake+district+pictures&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=vwLGS-TYCc2WsQafkrzAAQ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBkQsAQwAA Lindsay

Could do with a few more like him,would love the help of a young fancier,being on my own I'm not to keen of leaving the lofts unattended when training ,that's one of the reasons In my own mind that training is kept to a minimal which to be true I know is wrong.Hopefully someone will come along before young bird training gets in full swing. Well done young Dathan and congratulations to his father. Lindsay.

Very sorry about this tragic event,my heartfelt sympathy. God Bless. Lindsay

Hi Tony,wouldn't you do the same ,not bad pulled out of a basket and a young hen put in front of you,next week please.LOL ;D ;D ;D Lindsay

In the area I live in the federations are all the clubs within a boundry,ie.Silloth to Harrington (Derwent Valley) The Combine is other federations united.Derwent Valley,East Cumbria,West Cumbria and Barrow in Furness feds. Lindsay

I have a 24 bird basket in my young bird loft,when the youngens are put through the flap is left open for them to sleep in or whatever,once they start perching the straw is removed and the flap closed.I then use the basket to get them use to going in and out of it and feeding in it,but just a small handfull of black rape.Open the flap throw in the rape and you have 90% of your youngens in the basket, also take the drinker out of the loft and put drinkers on the basket,it works for me. Lindsay

Hi Pete,probably rubbish mate,but then again who knows for sure,I think it's probably excitement/nerves and having feed in their crop that will make them throw up.I have at the moment got some young birds that a scared of heights but I'm sure it's just youth and nerves. Lindsay

This post should be called FATAL,if you pick one out your more or less guaranteed to loose it.I got six of Stan the Man,all favourites I got twelve off Willie 60,all favourites and a team of my own ,have a guess,yes all favourites and that's how it's staying till the last young bird race. Remind me at the end of the season and with a bit of luck I'll put a few photo's up. Lindsay.

No S.A.E.'s required. Lindsay
