As I Have Warned Before

[walterbmasson]

And another thing Walter were are the pigeons going to go down for a drink on the long journey on a mad hot day ? Lol your most definitely at the wind up.

Well where the hell are ye getting this massive heat from in Norway , I've landed hundreds of time there and I've never seen any heat like yer mentioning , yer also saying the long journey 600 miles , ha ha ha , we have been flying our pigeons from 724 + miles every year till the fanciers in Lanarkshire and borders started keeping foreign rubbish , your birds will be hitting land long before 600 miles , if yer birds can't fly 480 miles from liberation at 4. 30 am which is written in our SNFC rule books , and the bollocks y talk about any unfit birds nowhere ta land is another fairy tail yer trying ta brain wash fanciers in sending there birds ta a real National , and a 300 mile water crossing , as if a bird is no good and has ta land there's loads of rigs boats going in different directions , but why don't take a wee bit of time and look up , what is a NATIONAL event , in every point you will see it's a great event as fair as possible , a challenge for only the best ?But Lanarkshire lad , will be saying that's BOLLOCKS as well , top man ?

Come on everybody and there aunties know how easy it is racing into your area they just need tae fly with the one eye open.

Oslo puts the wind on the beak, for every pigeon entered in July there at 2 rigs on line of flight the sea crossing is 345 mile all birds have a chance to starburst from liberation, or fly from west coast Ireland from a boat release, all birds have tail wind.

mebbe wee gavin was right a them months ago bout brexit an nat racin, ime with walter, give them the water stretch , a proper test for gold cup or any other nat race and no they winna be hittin borders first for a change, sort the hours o darkness oot eh walter

Yer right Davy first time ye will see the hours of darkness used , it's Na rocket science , if ever the shoe was on the other foot , as we have ta endure since racing began , 125 years ago, up north , fanciers just send there birds and accept what ever time birds are released at the extreme distances ,but as long as y see fanciers on these sites being praised for how how great performances there birds putting up in SNFC Nationals at very short distances such as Buckingham 220 miles & Portsmouth under 300 miles and letting the birds go at 6 am , then when they go over the channel the birds are held till 8 am & 9am doing away we the North birds having any chance of getting home on the day from 660 or even 700 miles , and they know the birds when sent right will do this distance on the day , but mention a race from less than 600 miles from OSLO , they have the chance ta brag about there birds but take a dose of the runs , just mentioning sending there birds ta fly 300 miles of water , get a bloody life swallows fly a thousand + miles twice every year , but they won't attempt the journey if they are not in correct condition , but there's abundance of fanciers fill there birds of antibiotics before sending ta a short race ta win a club card , that's the problem in our sport now false condition ?

Agree with you Walter birds should be up 4:30am from France if that is clock set time daylight no matter the channel as all birds have the same chance if they face it

look at the one loft races in the canary islands young birds/yearlings flying 450 to 500km

all across water as liberated at sea , they have the heat and also flying into headwinds , the one just finished 419 birds were sent and last I saw 164 back on the result with others turning up , that's better odds than the snfc have from france

Davie as everyone in the north knows I was tossing birds from the Bergen Bank way back in the late 60ties and 70ties and that was taking them on board the boat ta the f X f sectors from Fraserburgh app 160 miles some times in pretty bad weather , and about 8 ta 9 am after getting a drink letting them go single up so ta use there heads , granted lost a good lot as I was just sorting the birds out as what ta breed off , as at that time the Ritchie & Whyte was the top fanciers in our club , at long distances such as Storm Queen ,and there was some top doo men at that time , but I was not the only one that sent birds ta tosses on board boats , as I am sure tossing any where north south east or west , makes birds , but the sad thing Davy , they call it the gold cup why in hell not just make it a worthy bloody race for the NAME only one place for such a race ,yes. it's , >>>> OSLO <<< and it would be good for the SNFC , as other organisations like UNC & midland national could make up a combine , get the likes of Masserella involved , with something like a Louis Masseralla memorial challenge cup the sport needs a challenge so ta attract new members ?

was in Canada when y/b's flew the 500miles, not twice, but back to back and then another.

100 odd years ago Jackson was sending and getting yearlings from 1000 miles.

 

Now, instead of the fancier sending Berwick, Elgin or Perth etc. they voted them out and now moan that Morpeth is too far and many don't send. Strewth soon be 100 miles tops for youngsters and 350 miles for Old Birds!

Oslo maybe a bit far for the south coast here... lol! Salvo we do / did. We sent Rome - in the heat and had decent returns.
