Hi Mick

 

I think that is the best weather site around,

it allways seems to be spot on with its forcasts

Would somebody explain why you shouldn't train in easterly winds - does it make a difference as to which part of the country you are in ? (ie east coast - they would be blown inland ? west coast out to sea ? ) Or what the temperatures are like ? I thought it was cold easterly winds

 

I am to start the young bird training this week and have never done it before - don't want to make any mistakes

for some reason and i hear many good fanciers saying it and i 4 1 have found out 4 my self tht ybs dont like training in these hot easterly winds. Take the man who lost most of his yesterday for example. I definatley wish i kept mine at home on saturday eva since they took a bad training toss they have gone down hill ever since.

Red Cheq, dont take your birds training in an East wind - I wont even take my old birds in an East wind.

It is debilitating for the pigeons - if you look around, you dont see many wild birds flying either. Cold or hot - they will have a hard time in it and they are bettrer  off in the loft.

Sure, they have to race in an East wind and they will but it will take more out of them

than a nose-ender.

Good luck with your training.

Incidently Pompey Mick. I also use that weather site and think it is one of the best. - I think it is designed for use by pilots. It's particularly good on the day of the race.

Agree about the east winds I took mine on sunday and had a terrible chuck (got most back eventually). I reported a yb last night and the lad had lost half his team yesterday.
