Dont know about no problem, will only be a handful in the west tonight. ATB Baz

[blucock]

Same to you Gareth mate , my thinking 10-10.5 hrs the leaders should be - maybe even a little quicker

[Blue Tooner]

If they lib anytime after 11 I Think there will be very few in the north tonight if any. Cant see our birds doing much more than 35mph. Looks like an early rise tomorrow!

Good luck to all competing wherever you are.

think it would be fair to everybody if they are not libbed by 10am on any day they should be held over a later lib than that would hinder the north and the west and they are entitled to a fair chance

[blucock]

So if they don't lib at Alencon by 7am or Tours then they shouldn't lib? Same detail. What if tomorrow doesn't turn out as good? Then what?? The birds must go at the earliest opportunity. You get midday libs at Barcelona. The longer flyers may even profit from a late lib

Problem is that once it goes past 21.00, very few pigeons will fly beyond this, even after seven the pigeons flying into the west will not like coming the last 50 miles up through the hills at Moffat and beattock. If anybody in region F gets a doo tonight then they will win their section.

[fodencat]

surely if there not up today they will need to put gold cup marking back a day.

[blucock]

7pm is daylight the birds are moving until well after 10 up here in Ayrshire - (Ayrshire fed winner) will be around the 9hr45min-10hour mark. if the bird are up by 1130 there will be a few in Ayrshire around the 930 mark with another hour of light (midsummer)esp with a clear day and good conditions on route

 

best of luck

this is only an inland race not Barcelona or anywhere in France,Yes they should go as early as possible when in France but there should be a time at Maidstone which they will not go beyond

[blucock]

the messages were updated until 1pm last 2 days so I think right up until 1230-1pm ish they will go if it clears

[fodencat]

moving days for doing anything is allowed? Birds have been in baskets since Thursday so only lads on the ground can know whats best now - wouldn't envy whatever they do
