I presume they were basketed Thursday ? if so that's quite a long time in the basket until Monday.......lets hope they get a fair chance wherever they are liberated from, hope you get a good race.

If they don't lib tomorrow they will bring them back to England and lib Tuesday

I wish you all the best Edgie Tough weekend for the one making the final decision there I suspect.

he made a post don, I don't know if its just a guest appearance or a regular poster, but either way hes always been a member of the forum, and anyone who is willing to support the forum is free to post when and as he likes....

Either way David we at least know he is still walking the planet as such. Truth be told I rather enjoyed Edgie & his input etc here when he was a more regular poster as such.

good luck to all who sent, lets hope the weathers ok for them and the birds get a good race...

good luck to all who have sent.

heavey rain following them 17 mph ssw wind, last 40 mile for my birds will be a n.easter with heavey rain coming down to them , just be glad to get them home now ?

I don't know if they were basketed Thursday or maybe Friday, but even still,5 or 6 days in the basket isn't nice for the birds......I think most fanciers who sent will be glad just to get them home, I know I would be.

as far as I know, by what ive heard they are well fed etc, but its still a long time....

they went thursday morning , but should be ok

ive heard fanciers say the birds come back in better condition and fed better than before they went......

you should try it sometime

I`d like to , I think theres a basketting station in lofthouse/wakefield .......and a clock station at horsforth in leeds, but its a bit of a journey really, especially if you take your clock to be struck off....im more on my own level with these lot here at the cricket club.........

i travel 55 miles to basket station and 30 miles to clock station, depends how keen you want to be ?
