Ayrshire From Ripon Today

[bigjamie]

hi how did the ayrshire fed get on from ripon today what type of race was it

[Novice]

An absolute disaster on a day when birds shouldn’t have been allowed to fly round the loft far less 160 miles into a strong wind. I have 2/15 and another club mate has 1/15. Most fanciers failed to time by clock check at 20:30 last night.

As Novice states a disaster for those that sent struggling to find out how many birds home on the shift

so far I know of 7

only 1 in my club.

there will be others but not many .

I hope some work in today but not looking promising weather wise again.

Found that strange graham,a wee convoy of just over 200 young birds with the wind yesterday Lanarkshire ten minutes earlier with five times the birdage,I think in the west of Scotland we could help ourselves a bit more.
