if the weathers favourable get them up asap thats all anyone can ask like you getting a bird on the days what its all about were doing well if we get a bird on the day from the inland nationals sometimes

i heard it will still last for 6 months but thats just hearsay

as a rough guide were about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours after they clock into the borders then robbies got about another hours flying up to him

i know what your saying al mine says battery low and i opened it up to see there is only basically a circuit board inside so it makes you wonder why it costs so much

40 for 8x6 ive 11x6 and 50/55 is my top number which after training can be around the 45/50 mark

i opened my base alf and didnt see a battery unless its soldered onto the circuit board

424 birds in now including 39 GB birds only another 2100 to come seems a right stiff one

i think what is meant is if they were up an hour earlier you might of got a bird it happened a few years back in one of the inland nationals they went up i think at about 10.30 or 11.00 shutting out north birds

27 birds in now with a premier stud bird in 24th very slow going

3 birds home myrtle lofts in 3rd place about 4 minutes behind the 1st 2

reffering to this post george as youve still to break your birds to your new address my thoughts would be that i would only lightly race any broken birds a couple of shortish races to settle them in then next year you can test them out further i moved house and raced the following year with 16 broken birds lost near the lot, and they were my best from my old location got reports they kept going to the old location on a race day jmo

let them sit on the trap before they are able to fly get them used to going in i let mine wander in and out of the loft through the sputnick ive a board that i slide in under it which they walk out onto then jump up onto the landing board and drop in found this the best way to keep them with very few if any fly ways

what about a race fae lerwick danny 4 races from the 4 points of the compass

i dont think there was on for this year just the breeder buyer

pen 6 a nice hen

still got mine going to use it for y/bs this year

i would add dundee to that so the northern lads travel time is down to 2 1/2 hours each way saying that it would still take the lads from wick 6+ hours each way if they chose to attend

i see what you on about with an offshore race thats ok for oneloft races but how can you get accurate distances from a boat,

57th 62nd and 70th open for a 1,2,3. in the section great flying

like looking into the tardis there ian

up to £50 for a y/b and up to £500 for a quality proven stock bird

race programs not set yet as a guess 30th april from thornton 76 miles

i think marks saying that the winner can come out of 2nd or 3rd batch you might have 100 birds go overhead flying further than you but yours turns up 5 mins later and wins the race because the birds start to slow with distance could be wrong like

your correct he didnt commit to a specific one without testing 1st not 100% sure but i think the blindness is specific to para
