thanks lads... good to see Flecha home, 500 euro in the kitty! WELL DONE TO EVERYBODY WHO MADE IT TO THE FINAL... bring on 2012

Basketting 17th March... will be live on net

cheers Robbie, i'll send u a Pm about YB

thanks lads... recieved a txt today from Derby-Arona to say Flecha my wee spanish hen was home! hopefully she will be fit to go too final, best part of a week to get some condition back... so get the flag oot again, lol.... hooray

i'll take 4 knew you would Thanks >>> Ian

imo a pigeon born too win will do on any system with proper care and management... i've had them win as yearlings and score from inland nationals

syndicates are very popular, splits the cost and increases the fun...

hi robbie... you send a team of 5 young birds, pay and activate one young bird only at this stage only costing 220 euro, the other four are reserves, should you have more than one left at the 'activation period' then you have first choice to activate your own reserve pigeons at once again 220 euro per pigeon, if you dont activate then they are made available to the public as you would have seen happen this year. shipping cost was around 400 euro, i sent ten so maybe less for a team of five not too sure. it is a few bob and a huge gamble, but somebody got to win the jackpot...

i reckon a pigeon from the canary islands or malta will take the final, totally familiar terrain for these climatised pigeons... jmo we will be back next year, for the third time, not giving up that easy...

Final on 19th March... 300km, looking like there will be 52 entrants, good luck to all the owners of these brave pigeons.

47 birds now home... would just like to take this opportunity in thanking everybody who has followed this 'topic' which has generated immense interest with over 10,000 views, looking forward to 2012 already... pity not in final but not given up thatb easy, started selecting stock pairs already in which my future hopefuls will be bred from, hopefully 2012 will bring some more Scottish entrants

weather looks superb over in Tenerife today, so heres hoping

okay will get the flag out again

44 birds through to the final... there maybe one or two today, but cant see many arriving today as they dried up quite early yesterday, well done to the finalists, will be very interesting to see how this race goes...

14 birds home today, total now 41... should make 50 for the final? hope we have a scottish one amongst them...

not a feather hopefully something tomorrow

hopefully... and we see some arrivals tomorrow

No luck today... but a huge well done to the winners and all arrivals for that matter, brave pigeons.

on home page buddy, scroll down till you get to the most recent movie, directly under it in bold blue writing...

yes three left, lets hope they make it to the final..
