Agree, Tam

West route every club gets its turn, that cannot be said for flying east.

Not in Lanarkshire and don't race south yet, but here is my two pence worth.

Traditionally we flew the west or centre route M6. We changed because of the BOP problem. The racing on the east was a vast improvement. The BOP have taken a grip and have migrated east as well. The east route seems to have its problems and BOP are one of them. It has been mooted that increased clashing is also a problem.

Facts count. Ayrshire and Lanarkshire went west this year, fact. Ayrshire felt they got slaughtered and sent YB's east, fact. Lanarkshire stayed west for the complete programme, fact?.

What is required is not a debate about which route the fanciers think is best, but what were the facts about returns.

What mitigating circumstances were there, eg. strong east winds, change of route has an effect on the old birds, etc.

I am a beginner and in that respect as Gareth stated, somewhat tongue in cheek, I have no opinion. I do have a right to be allowed to draw an opinion, but this i am unable to do, unless given the facts. Traditionally west because it was best suited to the birds returning from distance races. West should still be best for this same reason, but external factors have changed that. To evaluate the external factors is a requirement. Lanarkshire has been brave enough, or stupid enough, to try the west again, so they have the facts, but these facts are just a snapshot. For these facts to carry any weight, Lanarkshire would have to fly west for probably something like around 3 years so that their facts could carry any weight.

Just a beginners opinion, but one which I hope you would consider to carry some merit.
