Indeed DJ, so tomorrow I shall see if I can get a friend to cover the gallery for me that Sunday, so I can spend the whole weekend up in the Lakes, with my screaming quads... unless I get some running in between now and then :rolleyes:Quote:

I may just camp if the weather is good... but where? Or else, Keswick YH will have to do...
Rice Pudding Boy recommends Castlerigg - It had it's own restaurant and bar I think. If I camp I'll stay there, but if funds allow it and the weather is dodgy I'll find a B&BQuote:

Anyone with a caravan or Motorhome wanting to book for the weekend of the relay had better start booking as places are filling up fast at both Castlerigg farm and Scott gate. I've just managed to get in at Castlerigg hall:) but they are filling up as well, so get in there.;)
Just managed to get in at Scotgate but only for 7 nights, wanted 16 so i could stay up there for Borrowdale, but had to make 2 seperate bookings:(Quote:

We do not allow couples or families to gather together as this has the potential for noise.
I'll have to take Laurence, see how long it is before they expel him!!!Quote:

I plan to, but works getting really shitty at the moment, so I might just blast up the M6 for the day. It looks like I've got to go S*uth to that London village for a couple of weeks. Plus there's a load of other crap kicking off that we've been stitched up with.Quote:

They don't mention Fell Ponies specifically. Could that be a loophole? ;)
But if they thought Daz and GeoffB were gay, God only knows what they'd make of a crowd of ballbags in pink singlets... :eek:
BTW, there's now a chance I might make it to Duddon, just as a day trip. Which other Ponies are going? I confess to not having followed the relevant threads as I thought I was booked out elsewhere that day.
Sounds grim Dom :(Quote:

Big race this for me would just love to get round.
Castlerigg Farm is the one on the east side of the road? Several of my BG supporters were intending to stay there last summer, they turned us away as they would only accept couples/families and not individuals or other groups as supposedly they tend to make too much noise. I think if we had been a bit quicker and said we were a gay couple we might have got in.:D
Went across the road to the other side, Castlerigg Hall (unless I've got the two names mixed up), no problem at all.
Stick with it Amex, make sure she has a good day, you can,t beat getting bladdered after and not having to drive, but you know that anyway with your tin tent.;)Quote:

Pony Tracksuits
Pony Stormjackets
Pony Tee's
Pony "other brand" hellys
Pony Fleece
Pony summer fashion shorts
Pony Ear warmer for winter
Pony Hoodie
Pony backpack
Pony Shoe/bootbag
When I hear back re- pricing and minimum order quantities, I will update you all and see if anyone is interested in anything. It'll likely be a case of cash/cheque upfront however as I will not be able to afford to pay upfront for larger items as I do with vests.
Anyways,
Good luck again to all for Duddon / Weekend activities.
What about Pony Ashtrays?
Pony Zippo lighters?
Ashtrays are for fags. Not that there's anything wrong with fags. My best friend is a fag :DQuote:
