Taking nothing away from this game pigeon flying in to the hardest route of them all but lets consider the birdage 2008 :-170 birds 1960:-4960 birds with a vel of 731.Its time both clubs were getting back together and flying as a Unit. :(

Timed in this morning and just glad to see him back.Badly hawked but should survive to fight another day.Just back from the clock station and it would appear about 10% have made it home but we have not heard much from the East & North confirming numbers. Congratulations to all who have timed and in particular Ritchie & White who is the only time we have heard from in the North Sect. Good luck to all in the Last Race of the Season with the Greatest Club (S.N.F.C.) in the Land and hope Falaise on the 18th July 2008 has better returns. ;)

S.Ferguson 2nd 07-21 and with these times West section pigeons should be filtering through.Good luck.

Gloucester Fed are taking 2hrs 26mins to do 149miles and at that rate there will be pigeons into Scotland tonight earlier than we predict. :-/ :-/( 10.30mins) :-/ :-/.And lets not forget yesterday,s race from Tarbes when the race conditions were similar and they were timing pigeons into York 748 miles on the night.

Jimmy with the due East Wind Blowing at the home end tonight the winner could well be in the West Section.Time will tell good luck to all sections. :-/ :-/ :-/

How many are away.

Tours pigeons were liberated at 8.45am L.W.S.W in ideal conditions with the Winds in London 20mls, Manchester 13mls,York 12mls turning to E,S,E, Carlise 14mls S.E and finally Strathclyde almost due East. At 45 mph into the Central Belt pigeons ,with a bit of luck will be timed around the 10.00pm mark.Good luck and can we keep the thread updated on any arrivals.May i also at this time congratulate G.Rankin & Son on winning the Lanarkshire Social Circle from Alencon with their Mealy Cock flying 533 miles with a velocity of 961 and to the 9 remaining members left competing for the Gold Cup. The birdage is made up of Region A/73,B/59,C/47,D/12,E/95,F/1,and G/13 total 300birds. :(

Scottish National Lib:Tours 8.45am LWSW wind and Ypres 8.00am good luck to all . :)

Does anyone know the entry and the breakdown in the sections .Lets hope they go tommorrow 1st thing, the Pigeon Navigation Multi-Day Forecast is in the Green with the Met-Office showing outbreaks of rain at first but clearing well for the rest of the day and for the First time This year South West Winds turning later on the day to due East which should help the Wise men from the West tae win another National.Good luck to all and lets hope the guys today at Tarbes get good returns. :)

Do the 166 fanciers who signed have to be in attendance. :-/ :-/

Lanarkshire Fed at Appleby no word till after 11.15am.Reading between the lines looking dodgy.Visibilty here in the Motherwell area is not so good.

Scottish National at Alencon are still hopefull of a Mid Day Liberation no word till after 1.00pm

Lanarkshire has cleared up visibilty good 15 mile wsw/wind and the Pigeon Navigation is in the Green (safe).Looking at the forecasts if the S.N.F.C at Alencon dont go soon the home end tommorow is suicide.

Scottish National Flying Club at Alencon no word until after 10.30am over cast at race point and mist on the channel.Lets hope it lifts.

Alex I would not get involved in responding to any further threads on this subject the Guy has got a slate missing and as we say in Scotland not the full Shilling.

:(Where are you sitting this morning and what are your hopes of getting a race today.Overcast with the Rain pelting down here in Lanarkshire.Pigeon Navigation Forecast is in the Red which is Hazardous for Racing Pigeons to Return Home Quicklly,if at all.Monday for us up here is better at the home end as today is suicide.Good luck to all. :'( :'( :'( The Lanarkshire Fed and the S.N.F.C have both held over.

S.N.F.C at Eastbourne heldover. ;D ;D ;D

Lanarkshire Fed at Wincanton heldover. ;D ;D ;D

Well done to Big Geordie and Gareth in taking the Top Honour of Winning The Henderson Trophy for being 1st West Sect 1st Open 1794 birds in the Lanarkshire Fed race from Cheltenham with there Cheq Hen doing a velocity 1110 from a distance of 278 miles .Congratulations also must go to our hard working secretary/treasurer Davy McCaig of the L.S.C in winning the Centre Section and that man fae Bunkle Tam Richardson winning the East Section and also 3rd,4th,and 11th on what was a very testing race. ;) ;)Well done.

Pigeon Navigation Multi-Day Forecast unsetteled for 14th June luckily and (with the numbers that are left) Lanarkshire Fed are only at Appleby 100mls and the met forecast showing another North East it should be a good toss for the Longest inland race next week from Wincanton 335 mls and Eastbourne with the S.N.F.C which is around 400mls and is well out of the Line of flight for the oncoming channel races. Good Luck to all. ;)
