doos r us Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 1st club again today but 4hrs 13 min from stonehaven 114 mls worst race yet but managed 17/24 at 7pm
chichichi Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 the welsh birds have had a hard one today from maidstone,,we have had 20 from 30 ,,,some are 2 from 20....
Guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 Can't say for certain, but NW Open from Wakefield seems to have been a bad one. Best time and returns I heard at clocks [1500] was J Smith, Grangemouth, 12:38 and he had 30/42 then. But majority seem to be poorer returns and others like Plean club had 3/6 members still waiting a timer at clocks. I've only 1/3 at nightfall, and at 14:16, well back.
ALF Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 With the due West winds how are the times and more importantly returns in you area.We have over 50% returns and it is taking them 3hrs 12 minutes to fly 109 miles from Towlaw into the Lanarkshire.Congratulations to the Chief Race Controller for getting a race. WHEN YOU SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CHIEF RACE CONTROLLER MR EADIE DO YOU MEAN THAT THE ASSISTSANT DOES *expletive removed* ALL COS YOU WERE THE ASSISTANT LAST YEAR WHEN THE FED HAD THE WORST RACE PROBABLY IN OUR HISTORY SO ARE YOU SAYING IT WASNAE YOUR FAULT IT WAS COS YOU HAD NAE INPUT??? :D :D :D :D

pigeonpete Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 dont know how but im doing 1460 y.p.m from 152 miles? clocked at 12.17 out at 91.15, everyone else i have spoke to is in at 12.50 and above?? surely this is not possible> doing 200 y.p.m more than other people? in todays west wind doing 50 m.p.h then next best i have heard is 43 m.p.h ??) these are the times, best now is 12.32 flying 2 miles shorter!! thats 15 mins in fron and 2 miles further!!
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 anyone know how they get an improbable velocity?? this could happen to me this week, so far im 110 y.pm in fron of anyone else in the fed how this has happend know 1 knows, no birds have escaped as far as they know, i was doing 1468 and next best is 1350 odd? pleas advise as i dont want to accused of cheating iwould nt know how!! worried sick :-/ :'( dont be stupid, yours is perfectly okay , and they determine if on the day if they consider a bird to fly faster than they think is possible they might deem it an immposible velocity and disqualify the bird, has happened to somebody who won a big race and got disqualified, but sometimes they will be wrong because anything is possible
pigeonpete Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 dont be stupid, yours is perfectly okay , and they determine if on the day if they consider a bird to fly faster than they think is possible they might deem it an immposible velocity and disqualify the bird, has happened to somebody who won a big race and got disqualified, but sometimes they will be wrong because anything is possible cheers tam, just questioning myself how i can be that far in fron against some of the best yb flyers around!! :-/ 17 mins from 152 miles, is it possible?
frank-123 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 wish i was 17 mins in front instead im 17 min behind if you could tell me your secret i will be your friend

Guest TAMMY_1 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 cheers tam, just questioning myself how i can be that far in fron against some of the best yb flyers around!! :-/ 17 mins from 152 miles, is it possible? course its possible so well done pete , no neeed to worry over your win
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 wish i was 17 mins in front instead im 17 min behind if you could tell me your secret i will be your friend because you are flagging them to death when they are heavy moulting
pigeonpete Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 course its possible so well done pete , no neeed to worry over your win cheers for the support tam, just 1500 birds motoring on there way, how does 1 bird suddenly break away and motor in a strong west north west wind?
Lightning McQueen Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 Well done Pete, Its down to motivation and the wish to get home, also probably chased/caught the tail enders of another liberation..... Impossible is down to the day!! and there are plenty of races being won in the mid to high 1400's yesterday Well done mate you deserve it
Guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 Doubt if improbable velocity would be levelled at your bird for 17 minutes, Pete. Don't get me wrong, 17 minutes is an excellent margin to win by, but last week from 155 miles one of our members won by 35 minutes and nobody thought for a moment that the result wouldn't stand. Like yours, Angus's bird was keen, a young cock sitting chipping eggs. Well done.
sapper756 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 "CALM DOWN PETE" and enjoy the glory m8
