good or bad position

[tryer]

how many of you would say you where in a good or bad position i know some will say all depends on the wind . not many will say good or will they . ps think these smilies want changing

West of Scotland is without doubt the hardest place on earth to race pigeons..

Surely on Earth is a bit overstated

 

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

Lol..definetly the hardest on earth..!!

[Guest frank dooman]

ive raced in saltcoats/greenock /port-glasgow /bo,ness and now clackmannan there is no doubt that the further east you go the better so iam in the middle not the worst and not the best but you cant help where you live so you just have to make the best of what youve got

[greenlands]

Just about the worst position in the fed because the birds can't come the way they are measured,they come via the coast and not through the Lakes.

try flying into the north of scotland  then you got problems

[robbiedoo.]

a lot of people go on about the west of scotland being a bad location but what about the fanciers up in inverness , orkney or lerwick funny thing is these guys never seem to moan about it . :-/

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

Im not saying its easy in the North, but those pigeons have  a straight passage thru up the East..

 

Doos in to the west have to break away from the large numbers in the east and fly probably 90% of the time in to a west wind. Thats before you take in to account the massive population of BOP's..

[kirky]

Ireland has got to be the hardest place to fly to, east or west.

[robbiedoo.]

if the inverness doos go up the east coast when they hit fraserburgh they have to dog leg 100 west

rab i aint on  the  coast  mate distance kills  and i aint in the worst position theres others in our fed a lot worse  

[Guest strapper]

i think where i live its very hard for our club to get a decent result when the winds against us more times than it is for us, as we are north of the main set up of the fed....but we do get a result in now and again.

in every fed there will be a section where the wind helps out each week...and its nothing to do with fanciers abilities.

Needn't add much more to that Chris,just about frightened to let them out at certain times.

there is no having to turn from east to west your birds have to race straight north as this is what the birds do when libed from a race pointthat is why you can time in the YBN befor we get a bird over here as the drag pulls or birds stright north
