I was told bad weather in N/E England

Billy lets hope it was a joint decision and i am trying to get a line of flight path for all my contacts including the Electrical?Storm at Whitby.

 

 

 

 

Colin did they give you a reason ?

 

NW & Central Feds are on the same transporter. We could not get an early lib because the North Road liberations were given priority. There is bad weather coming in off the North sea to cover all of Scotland in heavy rain this afternoon. A later lib would not allow birds to get home before that heavy rain arrived.

 

Sounds a reasonable enough judgement to me.

you are right there Andy, I always thought the furthest fliers at a racepoint were given priority to go first which would have meant all the other feds up before the UNC

Not the best preparation for national races, a race fae otterburn. Was looking forward to a race fae huntingdon aswell, stiffen the doo's right up. A day less to recuperate for next week if folk had doo's intended for eastbourne.

budgie have you ever done controling before??? you have got to relise your birds are at 280mls probably looking at a 7/8hr fly for the leading birds the controller has got to try and predict what the weather is going to be in that time and the forcast was not good so stop your moaning and abide by your race controllers decision he is only looking after the pigeons
