walterbmasson Posted July 8, 2012 Report Posted July 8, 2012 great performance from that north sect bird without doubt ,.the weather was shocking up there all day yes ,but i live west and one if not the longest flyer apart from sect G , we get this or had this since i started pigeons in 1977 , the weather usually come in from the west and we always get it bad and in some cases in nationals we get shut out completely in my opinion and im a race controller i would have libbed as well ,the next poss good day for a lib with the weather good for the whole of britain the channel (and belgium) is prob in AUGUST sometime . i do hope these pigeons get a dry day and get up and home .u should try a race at national level there is no feeling like it (the antisapation/ excitement even if u dont time in) but when u do WOW . Stuart i would have also libed yesterday weighing up the line of flight and was expecting the weather to clear up north before birds arrived , the weather forcasts do show the masses of cloud but when watching weather every few hours theres no way that you can predict weather what is going to happen, as there is plenty of fecking satellites up there what are they doing i ask disrupting the weather i ask its definatley not making it any better thats for sure ?
budgie Posted July 8, 2012 Report Posted July 8, 2012 Jeff Grenfell (Carluke) also timed his good Cock this morning at 6.30am going for its Silver Award.Well done.
