slinky slitheroe Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Hi Gareth,if you take reference from a map.Then draw a line from Tours, Alancon and Falaise to Motherwell the line of flight is as follows.Newbury,Cheltenham,Worcester,Stafford,Preston,West of Lancaster,West of Carlisle,Dumfries,Through Beattock.This is as much of a westerly line of flight that is possible.This comment is based on factual observation,which holds no relation to political bias,this is a point about the fed.So on this basis my point still stands why do some fanciers not support the west route with the fed. But support this route with the national. Cheers Vincent. mate the pigeons dont come that way for a start with a touch of west in the wind +the drag and there up the east
Guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 mate the pigeons dont come that way for a start with a touch of west in the wind +the drag and there up the east That is irrelevant,its the west route that is relevant.

Cheers Vincent. Time on the wing is the answer Vincent and also the love that they have for the SNFC. Cheers Gareth
hotrod Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 mate the pigeons dont come that way for a start with a touch of west in the wind +the drag and there up the east so the birds are doing an arc which is bad for the west boys but if you were flying from eastern france the west boys get there fair amount of overfly no matter what the wind/drag is. TRUE OR FALSE?
Guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 why east is it easy racing? boys 8) aye easy to loose most of your y/birds every year :-/
Guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Time on the wing is the answer Vincent and also the love that they have for the SNFC. Cheers Gareth Thats fair enough Gareth,but their veiws on the west route with the fed are hypocritical then.

slinky slitheroe Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 so the birds are doing an arc which is bad for the west boys but if you were flying from eastern france the west boys get there fair amount of overfly no matter what the wind/drag is. TRUE OR FALSE? if the wind is from the west the pigeons will be even further east so ok u will get more overfly true but i remember afew years ago when the snfc went to beuvaise which gives the west boys a good overfly and what hap[ened ? the east cleared up
ALF Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Is that right alan 8) 8) > yes it sure is :P ;D ;D ;D ;D
