;D ;D ;D 4 years, attached pic taken 5 mins ago, it's looking out from my garden across to the blckborough hills, the M5 (you can't see it, is between me and the hills about 2 miles away, if you look at a map for junction 27 of the M5 go about 2 mile north, the view you see is immedaitley right of the M5, the camera is to the west of this point on the M5 and the view to the east of this point on the M5, hope that makes sense

Pete that's about the time it stopped raining here. I think they would have been better holding but I'd never make a race controller, cause, the amount of times they've been let go and I'd never have! Bit too soft me. Good news the sun is just about breaking through.

Let us know how the race pans out, GOOD LUCK!

thats a great time, some must have come through, and others gone round the rain, guess which way mine went! weel they can go national tom now! ;-) they would have dried out by then!

Not a good day to liberate, cleared for a while here but then heavy downpours between 1 & 3. Those early birds are damned good pigeons, sure they will have had a good wind, but being libbed at that time they will have hit heavy rain by the time they came up between Exeter and Crediton and probably for a lot of the journey.

cheers for your help yesterday, mine must be crap then! or not waterproof enough! :-)

[Guest]

Not crap, it was going to be one of those days where the good uns made real good time and then the rest would struggle. Horses for courses, just not a day to suit your birds maybe? But sadly whereas we all have much better blood in our loft than we did 30 years ago, we still have the situation where only a few have real champions in their loft. Probably like you I'm trying hard to produce some!!
