A big well done to Mark, distance flying is not for everyone. This guy knows how to prepare his birds.

Mark has at his disposal top distance pigeons sourced from Europes top distance fancier's, he's also has done very well with his sprinter's the last few seasons.
He does a lot of co breeding which helps, also Nigel Langstaff is working in the background a fair bit with his experience. My friends have been able to go with Mark when he arranges to go to the continent so he's been able to fast track his results in a short space of time in the BICC anything is possible when you have contacts that have top pigeons to source from.

He's almost done it all anyway Dave. I wonder what ambition he has left, where does his own motivation come from and what drives him to continue.
Despite his success, he's a top bloke as well. I've seen him at bicc marking a few times and he is always there sleeves rolled up and mucking in.
