Me personally no as this will be my first year sending over the water, but I believe it to be a fairer race for all when racing from Belg this is just my opinion which means didly squat

good for racing into the west but bad for raceing into the east and north

a direct line from ypres to the north section is over water near the whole way

i think we get about 20 or so miles from dundee

and they are over 60 miles from aberdeen

we get 47 miles from edinburgh and they are 100 miles from aberdeen

the fairest line for everyone is south

Rubbish, look at the results from Ypres, Liege etc.Liege was won in Carnoustie remember.All races from Belgium have been won from the east/south section.

The reason the east won the races from Belgium is because the best Fanciers and pigeons come from the east !!!!

do you think the distances reflect the actual route the birds fly

 

i would think the birds all cross around the same area

then travel up the east coast of england or split and go up the west side

 

thats why i said the fairest route is southerly

where all sections get a true distance af far as possable

 

races should be measured over land as far as poss

as birds wont fly 450 miles over water when they can follow the coastline

its been good racing and good returns from ypres so would be sensible to send these doos further into Belgium on the same line of flight
