Sorry to hear about that, hope they work back. Wind is strong westerly here today, but haven't seen any big batches, or odd strangers.

I have 9 out of 22 from the same race.Other members returns are 4 from 20 5 from 20. The best returns being 15 from 28.Club winner taking 2hours 7 mins for 42 miles.

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Went there myself for a while but never really got good tossing am afraid then went down to Erlsrickle (spelling) ? and did very well from there so not convinced it's that good, but that's only my experience with it.

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Something seriously wrong when they are doing 20 miles an hour

[novo10]

theyre were hundreds of birds training across theyre today well trained young ones usually make it home

NOT STARTED MY Y/B'S YET BUT HEARD OF A FEW HORROR STORIES FAE CARNWATH TO BE HONEST SO FAR THIS YEAR :( :(

[frank-123]

trained near carnwath this morning 09.30 on the way back i saw two trailers heading to carnwath full of lanarkshire birds

i put a post up yesterday the boys on lanarkshire would have been training thousands of birds today right on your line of flight from carnwath

that's why i went early the weather was not the best but clear enough for me

 

elsrickle according to a friend is a better liberation place than carnwath anyway

 

hope they birds make it back they may be better birds for the experience

What a disaster,we got 10 out of 24, we won the club doing 1 hour 58 mins for 47 miles, it's a joke.

Do you have any idea what happened?

Our young birds have had 34 tosses this year, so I don't think that it's the birds fault.

[JohnQuinn]

I never even let ma young birds out yesterday morning, they would only have got blown all over the place, probably hitting phone wires and the like, wisnae great later on either!
