A great time of the year to visit the Algarve, just after the racing season in Scotland has finished, have been there the last 2 years and had a great holiday. Probably the best one loft race in Europe which is growing every year.

The final race is 300 miles and has a great success with more than 50% making the final race from approx 2500 birds entered at the start.

 

Please contact the agent Chris Sutton (07792356330) for further details or for entering your teams.

 

Best regards

Gareth

 

** Just to clarify that I am not a agent and have no personal gain from promoting this race, I am only trying to promote to the Scottish fanciers a one loft race which I believe to be the best and also to try and accumulate 20 teams which will give the first Scottish pigeon a free entry into the 2016 race.

 

 

500 euros at todays rate is approx. £364.00

[just ask me]

i went over last year lads this is class the birds are there no 1 priority there are as professional as they come but there also a very relaxed atmosphere about the whole event which makes it ideal for the whole family

 

close by a brilliant beach goes as far as the eye can see its more relaxed in monte gordo where the race is held but still enough pubs restaurants boat trips fishing etc to keep you and the family entertained for a week

 

down the road about 40 or so miles you have some the more livelier resorts

 

 

i myself like monte gordo and cant fault it

 

 

looking at there returns in the main over the last few year there way and above most one loft races

 

 

Rui the guy running it is easy to deal with and is always very approachable with any questions you may have

 

 

if we get the birds between the england scotland wales and ireland we can give these germans a run for there money

The Germans take a bit of beating in the one loft races, I believe it was a Slovakian pigeon that one the race last year. There was a good mixture of countries in the first 30.

 

Lets hope it's one of the British fanciers that win it this year.
