Blue Tooner Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Good luck to all NRCC members in todays Fraserburgh race. Libbed at 9am A fellow club member saw them going over Peterhead at 9.14am in large batches. Peterhead is approx. 14 miles south of Fraserburgh.
KEVIN ELLIOTT Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 STUART MY BRO JOHN SEEN THEM GO OVER THE BRIDGE OF DONE AT 9.30am GOING LIKE THE HAMMERS OF HELL LOL BEST OF LUCK TO ALL
Wiley Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Best of luck to the London and Essex boys they will need it blanket of rain from Skegness downwards supposably
Roland Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Yep, Louth etc. will be home and still dry before the inland members birds start to turn inlan ... or work back as they usually do having gone down the coast to far. Yes they will come out and follow the coast line over the sea very soon. Depending of strength of wind of course, between 3 and 15 miles out. Bad winds mean over on the continent of course. Hence why it is affectionally called the East Coast Club. Mind will be good birds today getting into London and good luck to any West, or Welsh flyers. Not knock, as we all know the reality, but I think there will be many good, to great results not getting anywhere near the merit they deserve, and likewise, I doubt today that the best birds in the race will be at the top of the winners list of the National. However, most know this. Especially those sending on a wing and a prayer. Good like to everyone entered.
ALF Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 The leaders are doing nearly 1500ypm into Nottingham http://www.nrcc.co.uk/Racing/ProvisionalResults2012/tabid/82/Default.aspx
Tony C Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Well done to all those that timed in on the day flying into Essex & London, very game birds indeed.
Wiley Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Well done to all those that timed in on the day flying into Essex & London, very game birds indeed. Very brave pigeons!! Well done Freddy Dawkins timing in and I believe winning there section. It's what racing is all about. If I can establish more of a team would love to have a try at it one day. 65-70 miles flying down on there own Terrific Feeling I would imagine.
demolition man Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 There was no thought given to the long flyers in this race, How we ever got pigeons our end of the world on the day was unbeliveable i coundn't even see the end of my road, lucky for me i had one on the night and my other three entrys early next morning.

Bernie, no disrespect to those that just fill the coffers, and the odd one getting some decent merit, but the fact is that it is forthe East Coast boys. Those in Essexs etc. certainlt earn any brownie points, but only for those that know and look up the performances. Was trying to get some interest in flying with the london combine etc. past two seasons. Who knows, may well happen yet.
