Too much water for me I think. Would the prevailing wind be a prob? How would the convoy fair on that trip across?

yes walter but have u ever noticed that a lot of very good pigeons and this includes national winners make a hash of it sometimes oh and the fanciers too ,so like my good hen karens girl first time accross the water took 8 days ,she would probably have drowned if that race was from oslo ,and i bet theres a lot more champions out there that have done the same first time accross.so imo i would defo say naw thanx for oslo.

Yes 300+ miles of water is a little too much especially if conditions are not 100%, love to give a go though.

so what you are saying is any doo in the north fed that cant fly hastings on the day is rubbish. i`ll remember that next time you get a north wind. oslo to scotland in a south west wind would be as hard as you could get. if any were lucky enough to land on a boat heading for peterhead they would be laughing

i am not saying nothing about any bird being rubbish what i am saying that a NATIONAL RACE should be that and a hard long distance event and all birds would have to be in condition before you send them going by your post your not prepaired to compete on a fair playing field so my advice to you race your birds in lesser compition but if fanciers would like to pick up the top prize in long distance racing SCOTLAND OR ENGLAND let the bird be a real champion and speaking about a bird going on a boat to peterhead from oslo it wont be a fishing boat i dont think it would be supply boat at week end eather and sw wind would be perfect

i am prepared to fly against any one from anywhere but you will NEVER get a level playing field in doo racing no matter how much you try. read billy wortley in the rp this week. it is 100 years since the snfc started racing from rennes. for years it rennes/nantes/avranches so why change direction now but as a trial why dont you propose that your own fed races out to oslo next season to prove how successful it could be.

Now your talking i like so many others have the dream of some day winning the gold cup ,but i would dearly love to win it from rennes,for all the years i can remember the winner was spoken about as the rennes winner nowadays you are known as the gold cup winner does that not tell ye something. ;)

I could be talking p*** but I think you'd get a better birdage if Rennes was the Gold Cup racepoint.For the name alone :)
