Guest Hjaltland Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Watched the birds go at 5:30 this morning. A great sight on a fine morning. Have posted a video clip and some pics at http://www.shetlandpigeons.com Follow the NRCC link off the front page. The video clip is 5.3mb so may take a little time to download - but it's worth it 8) The forecast charts look good and weather was excellent this end. All the best to all those involved, I hope returns are good.
Pompey Mick Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Well worth taking a look, the photo of the pigeons going towards the sun is fantastic. I see they were further away from the fence this time.
Guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Fantastic, thanks so much for sharing, how many miles of open water ???, may I pass the link round to my american Friends.

Carl Upsall Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Hi Rose You can view the Provisioal result at http://www.nrcc.co.uk/Home.aspx. The race was very hard, with many empty perchs and some absolutely fantastic performances
Yorkshire Lass Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 The link doesn't seem to work and looking on the NRCC website I can only see last years result. Having raced from Lerwick a few weeks previous we know it can be a hard race..

Guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 I can't load it Yorkshire Lass get page cannot be displayed
Guest Hjaltland Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Linda, go directly into the NRCC site and click on the results tab then you can scroll through the list to find Lerwick provisional 2006. (Dont click on the link above) Its been a real hard race, amazing gutsy performance by the winners.
Carl Upsall Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 The race report is very interesting, those first 2 birds were absolute stars, enjoy the read.
