Saturday 12 juli de 1e Young pigeon flight this season. There were already 2 have been training and they went as desired. These training were from Varsseveld and Ulft over a distance of 50 in 60 km.
Saturday Fields was the unloading place. A nice place in Limburg and luckily it was decided to do a release of our CC4 together with CC5 (Enschede and surroundings). In general, this is much better than immediately a release with department 9 North. With CC4 and 5 Is it a nice narrow strip where those pigeons have to go. We are talking about Enschede, Hengelo, Borne, Oldenzaal Denekamp, Ootmarsum, Glanerbrug, The latter enZ.
After breaking open the cloud cover, it was possible 10.40 hours to be unloaded. The wind came from the NW and then a breath of fresh air is blowing over the sea. Fields is a distance for our pigeons 117 km. With an NW wind they fly around 1,5 hours. We had wasted a number of pigeons with the training, but we were able to do it now 65 basketing pigeons. A nice number for the 1e flight.
And so it went well, The first group of pigeons came to flown to 12.05 in 3 Pigeons came down pretty quickly and fell nicely on the run for the loft. It took a few seconds before they went through but to 12.05,41 was the 1e dove, from 25-1033455 clocked. From 2e in 3e were clocked to 12.05,44. But 3 seconds later. Then the pigeons came for one 1e flight back well. Within 12 minutes was half, 32 pigeons already at home. Most pigeons came home in groups in the beginning. Later they came one by one.
The association results (See results) we came in place 1 justly . There were also room 4, 5, 9, in 11 Also for our pigeons. Vincent Bonnes was also good and his pigeons came in place 2, 3, 6, 7 in 8 justly.
When all files were sent on Saturday evening, it soon became apparent that our pigeons had also done well in the district. Partly due to the NW Wind, the first places were divided in our Lutte. Also in the district we had the same places as in the association. So on the 1e Young pigeons flee one immediately 1e rayon against 2.813 pigeons. A great achievement.
Roermond will be on the program this weekend. Also a nice unloading place over a distance of approximately 160 km. Unfortunately a release with a department 9 North so that the spread is already very large. Had been better that this had also been a release with CC4 and CC5 only. And then from next week a release in Belgium with department 9 North.
Good luck all with the preparations and see you next week.
