i libbed north o scot birds tis morn at half six into a lovely morn with sun n blue sky, travelled over the forth good, perth good, stonehaven black clouds , peterculter heavens opened torrental downpour and haar coming in, this around 5.00 oclock, ie good all the way from ripon to the north so doos clocked in the north section are very good doos, my point is this, surely in a nat race the winning bird should be judged on best performance against distance flown taking into account of weather conditions on the day etc , not as we have it now as location is everything, the closer to the borde4r the more you send the more chance of winning a nat, imo total joke, furthest flyers take section prizes regardless of weather, again total joke imo the winner of a nat race should be judged on performance of bird on the day in race time regardless of where the flyer lives, only my opinion but hey ho well done to the timers and hopefully good returns all round.rant over way ti bed, bluddy doo,s
