Guest Gareth Rankin Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Fantastic doo it has pished here all day and is still f--- pi-- down Worst racing conditions that i have ever experienced our pigeons having to fly into. Well done to the fanciers and all of the 8 gallant pigeons that defied the horrendous weather to make it home to the loft.
Rebus Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Just back from the clock station and i thank you all for the congratulations offered, just a pity more fanciers hadnt got a pigeon i know how everybody feels as i was realy down the last two days with so little chance of pigeons getting through in these conditions.Jock

Well done to the fanciers and all of the 8 gallant pigeons that defied the horrendous weather to make it home to the loft. gareth thats the conditions we have had in the north for all 3 channel races pal . :emoticon-0156-rain:
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 gareth thats the conditions we have had in the north for all 3 channel races pal . :emoticon-0156-rain: Robbie, our doos have been shut out here in the west also, but for the last 48 hours from Niort it just hasnt halted to give the doos an opertunity of getting home, would be great if the North lads could get a pigeon in race time which will end roughly by 08.00 tommorow, will keep my fingers crossed for them.
