Route Change

[CHARLTON34]

So this season the old birds are going East to West Stoney Cross out to Eastbourne. The y birds are going down into Cornwall down the leg, my question is unless a rule is changed the old birds have to fly the route the youngsters will be flying this year in 2026 which I've never understood, it's hard enough as it is any thoughts on this please. If I've got this wrong Andy then feel free to correct what I've posted.
Regards Dave.

Does it really matter about route change? train on the compose if needed. the line of flight is built up so should not be a problem.

Your right good pigeons will fly from anywhere.
