MNFC Portsmouth

Probably one of the shortest at 91 miles - timer doing 1580. This in the most westerly part of the SE section - They will slaughter us on the East side today. I bet they are doing close to 2000ypm.

Shocking weather in the midlands today - Both feds up from Kingsdown and Exeter. Pigeons very wet - but returns good and most birds all home in minutes.

 

Best (club racing - not MNFC) Velocities in the mid 1700's

We're in the 1720's Worcester fed.  Could've knocked 30 secs off that but not to worry

Mike,

 

My bird in worcester fed doing 1707 - Bird sat on loft though.. Should have been doing aroung 1722. Exeter birds faster 1735 - but i've heard of birds that may be beating that. Whats the weather like at your end? We've had rain/drizzle for most of the day - I presume that many would have had trouble getting the birds in the pen today because of the conditions..

Hi Mate

 

Exeter birds will be faster mate - they're more Westerly than Kingsdown so extract that bit extra benefit from the wind.

 

We're on 04:17 on the clock flying 151 miles.   I'd guess we could've shaken 03:40 ish at a push - just so happens it wasn't one of the better trappers that come.  As I say not to worry.   Been rain/drizzle all day, but we've had a NW wind all day too.

Black country at Newton Abbott 2-30 doin 1728.49 but very gappy again all home now so thats a bonus

Mike,

 

I timed in the hen in my avatar - She's already won the worcester fed at Kingsdown and also been 8th Worcester Fed (pipped by Houdini in 7th - last ob race 2005) - She always flys well at Kingsdown - But she never goes in the loft - shes just flutters forwards and backwards between the two lofts, its probably because I've timed her in too much over the last couple of seasons..

 

The wind is strong westerley by me - I'd say our area was in prime position for the fed today...
