Hardest Race Route

[just ask me]

was having chat few days back about the hardest race route we were chatting about Scotland England wales and Ireland this be interesting to have your thoughts we were more talking about the hardest route then just looking for the race with the most miles

[Wiley]

we all know a very hard route is racing from ireland from france ect, however question is what is harder racing north or south into England?

[Guest youngboy]

i suppose the boys on north west of ireland

 

from france some range from 450-500 miles but to cross 2 channels and 9/10 its a westerly wind would be easy on the pigeons

 

 

or else anyone flying long milage on north road into south ireland from thurso in and again S/W wind would be really tough on pigeons milage range from 400-510

 

or even the guys in south uk flying long milage noth road some guys fly 500+ milage in head wind is really tough

 

 

there my opinions

[just ask me]

thurso a good call into Ireland into a south west wind whole way across Scotland and down into Ireland good shout

Try racing into West Cumbria,bloody imposible,even the Scottish lads have thrown the towel in and go over to the East route.It's just a heaven for BOP.Our transporter was at Flookburgh on Saturday for thre first young bird race,it was hit by FIVE peregrines on liberation,you needn't ask what the returns were like at 45 mile to me.

[just ask me]

the irish birds would be flying right along there mate i reckon and that would after flying nearly of Scotland already and then still cross the sea

[blaz]

the irish birds racing from france gets my vote.crossing to bodys of water to get home

Bloody nightmare for you and getting worse by the year ,a lot of our fed members shouting to go back west as we are also taking a hammering east ,the nest site must be very close to liberation when you have been hit by a family of them think they need fed midweek
