where you from

where you racin from this week wer back to St.Malo 69 miles and how many you sendin

lillers this week, about 347 miles, i was going to send my hens but they have,nt laid in time so wil be sending older cocks....about 3 or 4

good luck to you both and to all who are sending, hope to hear of some winners...........

no race for me this week , i was going to send to the NFC st malo race
but don,t like the race point its to close to the sea last time i sent there
i lost 3 good cocks what had flown 500miles . i think they need a bit of land before
they hit the sea then there in racing mode and going at a fare pace ive been told that because
there let go right on the coast if they dont fancy crossing they fly up and down the coast line
some times flying right up in to belguim and holand then its to late there knackerd so dont bother
to cross .

Blimey mate just as well you dont live ere you would never race we got 9 mile max for trainin over land then it all cross the water to get back ere they get about 10 mile run over the land then the big wide sea in front of em yes you are right some do follow the coast up but i think that once they hit cherbourg they should have no problem crossin JMO tho mate

hi rene, hows your birds doing now........they came good for you the other week, are you happy with how they are going on.........? are they ready for this weeks race ?

hi rene a, yes your right i would not fancy flying where you are
do you need a big team to race as all races are over the water .

hi mate the last 2 weeks have been ok they could do better i only came 13th last week but then again the wind wernt in my favour for where i am in the island i realy need a NE E or SE wind to help me win im only doin another 2-3 races then il have to stop cos i gota a have a big op on my wrist in Derby next month then i want to put my birds into 2 main races 1 for my dads memorial tropy and the other for the BBC bourdax race and if i think the birds are right i might try Barcilona but not 100% sure on that 1 just yet
