is there hours of darkness on this race??

[Guest bakes]

is there hours of darkness on this race??

 

this is the rules for the race taken from there website

 

1.      The race will cover a distance, dependant on circumstances, to provide a fair test of the pigeon's ability to negotiate the journey back to Arona-TENERIFE on the day of liberation in approximately five to ten hours. The pigeons will be liberated as early as practical at the discretion of the organizers. The race will close at the discretion of the organizers

 

2.      On basketing day, all pigeons going to the race will be electronically logged in public and verified by the Auditors, wing stamped and identity ring obscured.

 

3.      After the pigeons have been liberated, it will be announced which electronic loft numbers correspond with which pigeon's ring details. As the pigeon's identity has been kept anonymous until this time, it will be the first revealing of the pigeon's identity.

 

4.      The electronic timing system will place the pigeons in order of their voluntary return to the loft and record times to a fraction of a second.

 

 

all the best.

HI lads i havnt had a chance to read this thread properly but the birds have been thrown at 8.10 and there is a calima over there. i read about it earlier today and could not believe that they were up. i rang a friend of mine who has 1 pigeon left in this race and told him not too expect anything back 2day or possibly even tomorrow. for the most of this visabilty is down to just 6 miles. a calima is caused from heat and strong winds. it appears to the eye to bee foggy but it is actualy dust and sand blowing in from the sahara desert. think if they where liberated in this country with that type of forecast the convoyer would be shot.

Disappointed to hear this after the Europa 2008 classic race, liberation of all these one loft races should be at the hands of a independent race controller from the organisation that runs the one loft race.
