Should Wind speed Be Taken Into Consideration When Deciding To Delay A Race?

[REDCHEQHEN]

Some say no it shouldn't be taken into account - but when it's predicted between 42 & 47mph North - would you send if basketing was to go ahead? (Young birds)

Even for North Road birds - the youngsters can't be in control under those conditions, I wouldn't want to be out in it myself!

Nobody in theirs right mind would sent bird in a 42 to 47 mph wind young birds or old birds.

Well there we go Jim. Many idiots - out of their'minds - were, and are very good and successful Pigeon fanciers.

[hotrod]

Of course it should . 100% , old birds and and young birds . Not just to race but even when letting them out to fly round loft .

The peoplethat predict these wind speeds should tell us what the lottery numbers are.

You still wouldn't win the jackpot. They get it wrong all the time.

Think you'll find the shipping forcast is a great help with winds down east coast .

[Roland]

You know, at day's end we are the ones deciding whether we send or not. Yes of course we want to go. To race, and many adages are spouted for a reason why.

However after on Thursday, then before Basketing , look again at the weatherv outside, and the forecats. Go and look in the mirror and decide whether too or not. Or just a couple of old expeirenced ones to go. J.M.O.

But then averages etc. are wieghed up eh!
