[Guest bigda]

i will go by you bigda get on the blower all west sec to agm aff the floor [ brest ]  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D up esp every boady happy ???????????????????????????????

 

perfect  line  for all, down to the wind on the day when they cross the channel and what side they prefer to come and as its only 30 mile wide at the sol way west to east   again the wind will decide  

it again  at that point ;D may be the birds will come again up through the nith along the  railway line as they done in days gone by as did the Glasgow feds used to fly over the lanarkshire area.    Pembroke would also be a good race point to steady the Nat  birds up

hotrod you can put me bottom of list but that wont stop me trying to get everything on level footing and yes i am not changing my mind of inland nationals its an in justice nearly 500milers having to compete against fanciers not flying 300 miles hotrod [ different doos is that not mickey mouse if you dont agree with that sorry i would put you bottom rung of the ladder i have already posted before i wouldnt send another doo to inland race does not give the longer birds justice better sending them to fed at least they get reconised for there effort ][ but this is my opinion ]

How do you suggest putting things on an 'even footing'..??

 

No matter where you race.. you'll all fly the furthest.. the south will always fly the shortest.. the east will always be the easiet and the west will always be the hardest..

walter i would do away with inland nationals , i thought you were having a go at the SNRPC sorry ,for me if you have read any  of my posts i want water races ,then if the two sides can agree to sit and try and get back together then you  can call the races nationals, as the way it is now no one can call their race a national ,not the snfc or the snrpc .

I just put that in for a wee wind up..  

 

But seriously how can a complete National race ever been on an even footing... if theres 100 mile from the first to last drop.. this just physically can't be possible..

Correct!!! We can all talk about B.O.P.'s, wind direction, how good West/East birds are, what line they take not to mention the little bit of luck they need as well. As you say it's a physical impossibility for everything to be even.

 

Best thing to do is enjoy the racing, do the best you can for them, set them up to the best of your ability, pay yer money n get them in there n start prayin, hopefuly ye'll get yer reward if no there's always next time

great post dougie .apart from the praying bit im a non believer  

[Guest uphallhen]

 

glad you have finaly taken notice of the distance we have to fly up here as they say its the time on the wing .

The point is most of the time it is a prevailing south/ west wind  most of the time and if that is the case then the dooman in the east and south are in for a easy race so you's east boys have the ba11s to say  that this is the case.
