Well that’s a nice steady start to this years national campaign over the channel. After holding all weekend the strings were finally cut on the British International Championship Club baskets at 7.25am this morning in Guernsey. With really strong southerly winds we knew that fast times were expected and we just hoped we could get something on a decent line to keep us in the shake up.
We timed a Stefaan Lambrechts widowhood hen at 09.41 flying a velocity of 2025 ypm to prov score 2nd section, 8th Open and she was clear of our next pigeon by 11 minutes. She came back out of the north unfortunately so didn’t get the greatest video by the time we noticed her dropping in. This sprint hen had 4 training tosses and this was her first race of the season. Incidentally she was our first pigeon from the first BICC Guernsey last year and won 3rd Section, 5th Open 3219b being 7 minutes clear of our next pigeon on that occasion. We had 48/56 by 15.15pm so a good setup for the next channel race on the calendar.
Congratulation to Nigel Shaw for winning the race and all the other northern flyers having a good day today.
