hotrod Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Good flying m8,surely, must be the best record in SNFC at this distance. Never had them that far but would like to give it a go. Have been 2nd & 5th west section, 11th & 30th open Tours 628 mls in only 3 attempts at over 600 mls. never mind snfc , must be the best if not ,one of the best records in britain.
Delboy Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Tours that's only sprint racing :P ;D ;D ;D ;D only kidding Delboy that's a good record you have in only 3 attempts, I : ::)wonder who beat you in the section when you were 2nd west section 11th open. I was beat by someone flying about 50 miles south east of me. His name was George Rankin, dont know if his son is still helping him. ;D ;D Memory serves me right my doo sat out for 15 minutes, might have caught the lucky winner.
Guest spin cycle Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 whitby, 126 miles to me. useful distance for getting them going...getting the birds on the coast.....every other week would be great

Good going m8. I like this race myself as Ive won it 6 or 7 times in recent years,

slinky slitheroe Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Just my opinion but do these Niort and Tours races really attract the best pigeons in scotland?i thought the gold cup was for the best pigeons in scotland.Niort and Tours races get a very small entry for a start and to be honest are made up of ALENCON and FALAISE failures also the winning pigeons are hours and hours apart still i suppose its good getting them home.
robbiedoo. Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 i like hastings as a race point seem to do well from it being twice first club in the last 4 years 483 mile to me.
Delboy Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 i make it 5 each derek in the last 11 years.,but i think i just shade it. ;) Afraid your wrong m8, 1997-2008 I beat you 7 times, 97, 02,03,04,06,07,08. This makes me shade it ;D Now lets talk about every other race
