LANARKSHIRE FED. YPRES RACE

[frank-123]

what route do you think the birds will take the bottom line middle  or top?

[PATTY BHOY]

i`ll say bottom line,less water.

[Guest]

great ques frank bottom for me

[EMMAJANE]

I'll say top line , dictated by wind direction.

if they take that and its not impossible thats the winners  mine would prob take the bottom thats what makes racing from belguim so interisting

[frank-123]

i think the winners will take the top line with the wind keeping them over slightly more east

guess we will never know thats the good thing about pigeon racing

[Guest]

The birds will take the shortest crossing,but there is a chance the winner could be in the west as the race point is in the east.

[Guest stb]

it depends on visibillity on channel.

 

good vis top line

[JADE]

dont think so with west in the wind. i predict eye valley area but it could be anywhere even north section if a keen bird takes on the water

if it is vince it will be a worthy winner in that wind

[frank-123]

well last year the winner was in dumfries i reckon it took this route  could well be the same tomorrow with the large convoy from lanarkshire keeping the birds more westerly

[Guest bigda]

yes Gareth is controlling, and he will hold,   more so now  than before. the birds will be his only concern,   its  a hard one to call , hope you all realize this  two races on the same day possibly with two  different results , if the unc go dosent  mean, the  Ypres has to go and vice versa
