Proposed 700 Ml Racing Into Central Scotland .

[eastcoaster]

After sitting listening to the panel at shu show ,both Davy Jamison &John baillie said they want to join Bicc and fly 700/800 mls .

I have always desired the chance to fly this distance and have brought birds with this in mind .( my health withstanding)

How would your prep go.

Feeding

Training

Rest

And racing condition ie widow ,roundabout ,celibate ,or natural

Just a discussion while X factor is on lol.

Think you keep the birds the same as usual. .......and then hope for some luck that is certainly required from 800mile. .....its not racing for me Colin

Not so sure about just luck as the north lads are already doing 700 but no doubt luck in any race is a good thing Steven

If it was taking 3 days I agree that's not racing .

That's why I said 800mile and no 700 lol. Lck is a must but when we are in 2/3 day then that's a diffo story

They are doing this in Holland these distances no reason why the Scottish guys can't do it

[JonesyBhoy]

700 mile in to Holland is a far different game to 700 mile in to Glasgow

Good pigeons will win anywhere

[JonesyBhoy]

[tiger]

Your choice, but I for fact pigeons from Europe are winning in the snfc at 599 miles

[JonesyBhoy]

nver said they didnt.. you mentioned English flyers from the extreme South and my point was its different in to the West of Scotland than it is in Kent

Agree 100% different ball game flying to the south coast of England compared flying into Scotland,the NFC had a Scottish section few years back don't know if it's still running

[JonesyBhoy]

of course Vinnie, im not dis crediting anyone.. juts saying its a different game in to here

[geordie1234]

They do it in Germany too thts no flat

[peter pandy]

Was Richard Combe not competing in the NFC North Sec the past couple of years ??.

[geordie1234]

Yes Peter he has timed out of 800 plus

[peter pandy]

Yes Peter he has timed out of 800 plus

 

Aye George the memory box still works on occasion !.

[JonesyBhoy]

Elphinstone?

[REDCHEQHEN]

I remember seeing an NFC result not too long ago (within the last five years) and somebody from Scotland timed in 2 within seconds of each other I'm sure it was just over 800 miles (802?) Maybe 2nd day?
