bigjamie Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 that wind was the big problem yesterday it was bloody strong right on there faces all the way plus the birds of prey to contend with i was lucky getting full returns but i only sent 3 a club mate of mine only had 1 from 15 late last night and he had been flying great hope more birds work there way home today for all who is waiting atb
gulkie Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 I believe that the biggest majority of fanciers would have made the same desicion To let the birds go .so well done Davie .
budgie Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 The prevailing West wind(Gusting between24/30mph) killed off the race. In future we should have something in place for youngsters ANYTHING ABOVE 10 mph Due West for youngsters should be held -over.
bigjamie Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 davie has done a great job the last few races have been bad with the west winds but yesterday the wind was very strong as gareth stated that was a tough one for the birds yesterday south lanarkshire got it tough from wetherby and they were up 3 hrs before our birds hit the sky and there a few of them waiting on birds aswell a lot of birds missing from both lanarkshire races yesterday

bigjamie Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 yes i understand andy we knew the wind was to be strong and we also knew that today was to be a better day for birds racing we could have dalayed the basketing until yesterday and got a better race for today as the weather is better we have to look into this a bit better weather wise as our ybs have had it hard now with these west winds now for about a month now and dont kid ourselfs looking at the birdage the past few weeks the loses have been horendous for some fanciers yb racing is about schooling them not murdering them with these winds

Doos have come back in strong winds before they must have been blootered yesterday.

In future we should have something in place for youngsters ANYTHING ABOVE 10 mph Due West for youngsters should be held -over. Were all aswell getting show doos based on your 10mph, 90% of races will have gusting winds over 10mph

frank-123 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 It is more than 10mph today you would you hold today John?
flying fifer Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 The prevailing West wind(Gusting between24/30mph) killed off the race. In future we should have something in place for youngsters ANYTHING ABOVE 10 mph Due West for youngsters should be held -over. Maybe a bit radical, probably impossible to go with 10mph but don't think that wind conditions are factored into the thoughts of the controllers before liberations, especially with YB's. Food for thought, after being a minor grade football referee for 20yrs, can't ever remember a game postponed due to strong winds. But can think of many games that were spoiled due to the strong winds. Equally the same with pigeon races,!!!!!!!!!!!! AW THE BEST
