Huntingdon Again.......112 miles

huntingdon again tomorrow, 112 miles to me......emptied the loft and sent them all    

was 5th 6th and 7th from huntingdon last week, hope they manage to improve on that.........        

good luck david and glad to hear you sent them

decided to send them all Darren, been told the weather will be decent enough tomorrow, so might as well keep them going........altho if I have the losses ive been having so far tomorrow, then its the end of the yb season for me.

was talking to a few of the club members earlier and it turns out its not only me that's had heavy losses, some of the others have too, including the two highest prize winners.......

Some times David, we are a bit hard on ourselves when things go belly up etc with our returns from a race & that's why it's important to have good friends etc which are honest & dont gild the lilly     when they tell you their returns type of thing. Changes what one may think at times about ones birds "I think"    .  

Good luck David a friend of mine who flys in your fed said last weeks race were tough and a few missing.

plenty of birds missing david as don says its the same all over the country
now the first  few races are over i think most birds will have settled down now
we just got ours right again after sickness so we shall see what efect its had on them

well done last Week David

Have not flown for the last 3 years. Train them hard, any weather. Sorts them out better than any pedigree or eye sign stuff. So have for next year unflown 2 and 3 year olds. Young birds to me are a waste of time and energy. But each to their own. Do send to one loft races. Some success. I remember 1956 in Hartlepool. Got a 3rd position young birds over the channel. 16 years old we basketed in a pub. Those guys were so pissed off they got to fighting. I grabbed a pint of Strongarm and left. Drunk it outside and got the bus home. But times change. Always interesting racing pigeons!
