YORKSHIRE MIDDLE ROUTE COMBINE
by Sue Skelton NEVERS 2010 John would like to thank Terry Scholey the weather man for the Combine and also for the Lincolnshire fed for insisting we did not liberate on Saturday due to severe thunderstorms in France and how right he was. The birds were liberated on Sunday the 4th of July at Nevers in a strong West North West wind turning West South West on the Channel. Yet West is certainly best this week even in such a strong Westerly wind as the pigeon that Topped the Combine was certainly a good bird for Brian Greenley who lives over in the West and clocked him doing 1324, well done Brian. Next in the Combine and topping the Coastal South section is Dean Adamson of Withernsea on 1304 who is 40 miles further over to the East coast.
