I hate this race point with a passion as i lost my best hen ever along with several other good birds, last year i decided i was not sending but gave in and sent 7, this year i have missed it out and will do for the future, i am not prepared to throw my bird away. I watched a documentary a few years ago and it was about the Bermuda Triangle of pigeon racing and Consett was the heart of it. I will never race from here again, several of my friends have lost allot of birds this weekend from this point.
