demolition man Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 what sort of distance is it to ayrshire from fraserburg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 1st bird back at 17.56 doing around 697ypm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
