Guest IB Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hope it will help you guys, I have experienced only 2 previous bad channel races with SNFC, Alencon 2009 & Bourges 2010 but I do remember a lot of you missing good pigeons from those races too, and in Alencon at least, they were still working back weeks after. Alencon was my first attempt at Gold Cup, and my single entry arrived 1 week later. Bourges was my first attempt at Longest Race, and my single entry arrived 11 days later. They're both going to Tours today. I've 5 for Ypres - all yearlings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know weather conditions can change very quickly and what was clear when checked before liberation time may not be as clear when the birds actually arrive there 3/4 hours later. Here's hoping for a good race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a bit of old fashioned line of flight contacts every 50-60 miles.Did you not mention previously Andy that you know someone on south coast, might be an idea to e-mail the SNFC if you get a dodgy forcast on the English side that morning? It is possible to get a forcast inc. visibility from the shipping guys at Calais or Dover, they dont advertise it, but will do it if asked the right way.
