[tyson]

brian what about lanarkshire/solway/midland/ayrshire they all flew down west route this year midland and ayrshire went with the nat Im talking about trying to get pigeons home especially youngbirds just look how the birdage is droping happens all the time dow eastside you ask about the nat theres still nothing to stop us being convoyed with nat

[tyson]

last year we flew down west with youngbirds and there was nowhere near the losses that we were getting our last race was appleton/lymm app 180mls and there was midlothian members sent to youngbird nat and did well from leicester there is to much emphasis put on overfly west route is the trueist route into the lothians you seen it last year with the fed results

I can confirm the welsh birds landing at Ecclefechan and when I asked aboot where they wer libed it was said Carnforth at the club!!! I never checked it out so no sure but they got mixed in somewhere???

 

 

The only North road Welsh fed is the New North road Welsh fed and they libbed at 2pm at Nantwich ( 40 miles south of Charnock Richards) on Sunday and they had a great race.Cant understand where these welsh doos came from in the Solway?? Dont know how any clash could happen Stephen. Do you know any more about what happened?

Only other info was that two of the birds belonged to the same fella in north wales?? but still cant confirm where lib was, if at all??? I checked also and found the same lib as you??? We still have birds milling around village fields and Mick getting one at Moffat is more than a coincidence as I canny remember ever having a welsh stray in this neck of woods!!! They might have been dragged up into Lancashire originally then again up to the Solway???

I think so too , also spotted on meteox archives that the rain was terrible on your flight path from 11am to 2pm.Maybe something to do with the losses m8.

You may be correct there derek,mate of mine phoned a courier who lives in cumbria on monday to have a pigeon uplifted the guy is a doo man and said it chucked it down on sunday .Yet the bbc gave it as dry ?

Watched keenly over the year at Lanarkshire's returns and racing as the West is where I'd like to race my pigeons.Not of course if its suicide,but yous seems to be getting some good racing with he youngsters and from what I've gathered Longtown is the one thats needs looking at.

 

Heres a thought

 

The reason the old bird losses were so high(excluding weather which seems to be the reason given by most East racing feds for this season's high losses) was because these birds had been raced and trained East since birth??Which poses the question if yous switch back to the East next year many,many yearlings will be lost??
