Guest IB Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Well im going to steer clear of the m74 from now on and go across country everytime except once i have been hit doon the m74 so im gonny go along the m8 from now on! Is there any lanarkshire guys who go along the m8 here that get ok results ive heard some ppl go out to north berwick 2 favoured spots for Lanarkshire I've heard of are the Ski Slope and Longniddry. I've never been to North Berwick, but as there is a seabird sanctuary there I'd imagine Percy would be about, and as for Dunbar - I'd advise you to steer clear of there.

The first pigeon was singled-up, got hit & escaped minus tail feathers, he came home last; the second group of 3 got hit, one presumed killed and the other 2 came behind the third group of 3 which arrived home first, a good while in front of the others. Speaking to club mates about this, I was told the Bo'ness training van had stopped going to Dunbar because of the number of times the birds were getting hit. Had I known that, I'd never have gone there in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
