14:26hrs in Sheffield.

Thanks, so that'll be about 45mph for Sheffield. Probably a bit after 7pm by the time they get up here even assuming we were with them.

how many did u have away? are u the only one away from scotland?

Sheffield bird aprox 315 miles 44 mph saw this on another site

[midnight_son]

Just heard of one in Tynemouth 1640 flying 426 miles so over 46mph. I've 3 hens away with the North East Greater Distance Club flying almost dead 500m but not sure how good they are. Doesn't seem too many excuses though so hopefully might get something through in reasonable time.

[bluebell101]

good luck

Cheers, yep got a hen at 2108. Not as quick as I hoped but it was a bit of an experiment and it turns out not as easy a race as the early times suggested. She has had 4 races up to the Newark toughie last week when she had 8 hours then straight off to Falaise on Thursday. I'd have preferred a bit more rest but also needed the time on the wing that day. I believe returns are not too great in the NEGDC so just grateful to get one through and its always a thrill to have a day pigeon from 500 miles whether its the 1st of June or 1st July. Straight to SNFC Alencon for her next. Link to her photo should be below.
