It’s the dreaded Grantham 83 miles
If I send you it

If you send me to it I aint coming back to you

Horrible sky tonight and watery sun low cloud or mist
Let them go in 5 lots as it was a head wind although slight they have awful set of pylons to cross
No messing about today each group 18 mins
I didn’t let them go to chase at 30 secs gaps but in 3 min gaps

Not a great evening and I was half thinking this could go tits

That my lot to Thursday 6 in a row done
Full feed tonight the first for a week a then day of rest and bath tomorrow

Cocks smashed it

It was a rotten evening horrible watery sun
But the cocks didn’t care

Could the hens sense the cocks in the van
Maybe I need to cover or muffle noise
Cocks will go first tomorrow that’s for sure as it’s been hens first each time so I will swop that

Anyone got any other ideas why the hens turned crap after 3 tosses of a mile or close to mile a min trainers

Probably could see something that you couldn't pal in the distance

I think your right as even when they did clear they were 18 mins
Today 18
So there time was right just strange seeing them back flying over the van after being sat there all that time but it was 19/20 pigeons and I have 20
