Not far. About an hour.
Yes, when you come we will visit David's loft. He has a very good loft, and has bought in the very best bloodlines.
He is a lot like you. He is very thorough and keeps records of all that he does.
I have had a lot of young birds off his top breeders for stock. Crossed with my family they seem to be as good as his, some may be better.
When you are here we will arrange some loft visits. Some will be an eye opener for you, that is certain.

Sunny, light winds, 100 kilometres to David's place. He sent about 25. I looked at some that remained, the pigeons look fantastic!
Wasn't a huge success. They've come from the wrong direction then didn't want to drop. Finally dropped then wouldn't trap. One did trap, one of mine.
Others arrived and zoomed round instead of dropping.
Smoke was coming out of Davey's ears. His normally trap like lightning. They weren't all back before he had all the rest in the hampers, in the van and off up the road for a toss.
I have a dollar that says they won't do that next week.
