Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 Valley Open Fraserburgh liberated at 11.00. into a light NE wind. Best of luck to everyone. Safe returns.
walterbmasson Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 NRCC Sorry to report this that hundreds of your birds are flying in large batches and have not cleared the race point ?????
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 NRCC Sorry to report this that hundreds of your birds are flying in large batches and have not cleared the race point ????? sh1t Walter!!! Why did they let ours go 30 minutes later. Our convoy of 65 will be swallowed up when theirs decide to go.Keep us informed when they do finally clear.
daviedoo22 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 2 big batches maybe 500 or so were seen going over Peterhead approx 12 mile south of Fraserburgh at 10:55.
Dooheed 5 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 sh1t Walter!!! Why did they let ours go 30 minutes later. Our convoy of 65 will be swallowed up when theirs decide to go.Keep us informed when they do finally clear.Was at liberation. There were no NRCC birds visable in sky when Ayrshire birds were libbed but just after they were libbed a batch of about 100 nrcc birds appeared high up ! these did not put off the Ayrshire birds and they cleared out of sight in no time

demolition man Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 what sort of distance is it to ayrshire from fraserburg
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 what sort of distance is it to ayrshire from fraserburg I am the shortest Fed loft at 165 miles, but this is an Open race and there are lofts just over 150 miles entered. Any early birds?
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 1st bird back at 17.56 doing around 697ypm.
Delboy Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 1st bird back at 17.56 doing around 697ypm. expletive remove That's brutal, in a tail wind too. Why do you race that way ?, the furthest you can go is 200+mls.
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 Probably tied in with NRCC birds flew too far south before breaking. Prep race for Lerwick which is a joint lib, so they often fly 600+ miles instead of the stated 340 odds.
Tony C Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 1st bird back at 17.56 doing around 697ypm. WOW! I'll start looking for mine from Wednesday onwards.
demolition man Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 WOW! I'll start looking for mine from Wednesday onwards. Be lucky Tony you should be ok there's a touch of east in the wind
KMCK Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 Was at a Mick Hillands loft in Ayrshire for 10 mins about 5 hes got 3 home and in I believe there in about 4hrs 30 mins down at micks hes about 15 miles further
Tony C Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 WOW! I'll start looking for mine from Wednesday onwards. Many a true word spoke in jest, got my first one today:emoticon-0127-lipssealed:
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Many a true word spoke in jest, got my first one today:emoticon-0127-lipssealed: Yes Tony, I heard you had a bad race. I had 2 from 4 for clocks and a 3rd one when I arrived home. An NRCC bird had came in with my 3rd one. When I made contact with the fella he said it was a stiff one. I believe your birds go out to sea when flying south, so perhaps they hit some haar. Our birds fly inland, so maybe that's why we had a better race.Hope you get the rest, if you are still waiting for some.
Roland Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 Well they very seldom release if any, or threat of any East in wind. Today.... may have too. Has been known .... 5 times lol.
