jock3 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 i would think scottish border or eye valley area would be favourites today. ur bang on mate i agree with you
blaz Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 eyemouth is the furthest east point in this race,, should be favs,, but not neccesary so we get 15 to 20 mins from eyemouth .birds training from their take an hour .on a day like today eyemouth is the prime place to be.any birds coming up that coast will find it hard to beat them . just my opinion
Guest IB Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Ian, What was the hold up with the Liberation? Was there a reason they were not away at 6am? There is another earlier thread on here, p/basics member visited Eastbourne lib site, the convoyers told him they were waiting for rain in London area to clear, then the birds would be off. Eastbourne. High grey clouds, watery sun trying to break though, light w.n.w wind, vis. good[/quote ] The lads at eastborne waiting for rain to clear over london. to get the "OK" to lib the 6,000 scotland combine pigeons!! I have just left them sittiing there drinking tea. at 07:30am (Yes it was tea) ;D

slim45 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 when do u think they will be in section f with the west wind we won reg f in this race last year and the bird was flying 11hrs 5 mins into a west wind so we think 11hrs + but probably 12hrs+ with north in the wind. good luck
