Lanarkshire Federation -Berwick race 14/4/18
After the horrific weather in March/April in Scotland.Fanciers struggled to get their pigeons out the loft for exercise,but some braved the conditions and sent some of their pigeons for the first race.We started on the east coast of England ,Berwick upon Tweed which is around 78 miles back into central Scotland.
Berwick is a town in the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England, at the mouth of the River Tweed on the east coast, 2 ¹/2 miles south of the Scottish border.Berwick-upon-Tweed's position on the north bank of the River Tweed, long held to be the nominal border between the two countries, led to the town changing hands no fewer than 14 times in the two centuries up to 1482.
The 2,127 with four crates of Fauldhouse club( who are convoying with us this year,all the best )
We were away at 10.15am in a light south wind,the birds cleared well.
Back at the home end the winning birds arrived around the 1 hr 45 minutes and into the 1300 velocity for the fed topper.
Like most first races the birds were well strung out, but most reported the odd one or two to come.
This weeks fed topper with a cool 1st & 2nd is our hard working Secretary Jim Cameron,Jim deserves his success as he works hard for the members and has a cracking team of pigeons.
