swilcox Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 After flying north in 2006 and only ybs in 2008 yesterday was my 1st channel race for nearly 4 years and never mind what people say you just cant beat the romance and unpredictability of the english channel and pigeon racing. Timed a little yearling hen doing 1347ypm, she was 1st club and the fastest pigeon around Bristol, i could not hold my joy!!! Stu

Mark Bulled Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Have to agree I have raced North for over 20 years and have flown south properly now for one season. The buzz of French racing is fantastic. I would hate to go North again
