when is the Old Crown Round? I might pop down and have a pint! Bit irratating living 10 minutes away yet not even knowing about it until I read the thread here! Make sure you all try the Tsarry Tsarry Knight!! :)
27th July. See:
http://www.wanderingaengustreks.com/Old-Crown-Round.htm
4 Ponies and counting....
That's the weekend of the Lakeland 100!
About time we had a Ponies post...
Fell Ponies are still abroad, literally.
My son-in-law, Flandrin the Flying Frenchman, wore his purple Pony vest today and completed a 50k mountain trail race in Luxembourg. His first ever ultra, and a UTMB point. As a result of an apprenticeship served on the Pennine fells, he insisted on fuelling his effort with Jelly Babies, which he had to import specifically for the purpose.
Well done, that man!
Great post Tussockface. Love the JB story
I like it, TF.
A Fell Pony was seen in San Diego today and there will be photographic evidence!
We are such a rare breed its a joy and a privilege to see another Pony, but do not think for one second we are a dying breed, a new pony is about to join this FRA forum and has vowed to complete the Bob Campbell Round thingy next year.
one pony completed over 54 races this year and only a damaged fetlock prevented it completing more.
Another Pony has been promoted to a high position within Health and Safety
and another Pony has or is about to have an article printed in a leading Mag
Early ponies are very busy with various music careers, so will not lower themselves to such tedious things like web sites.
And on a final note a few have been put in prison--- Various offences---- but all plainly guilty
And on a final note a few have been put in prison
The rest just haven't been caught yet!
You'll never take me alive coppers!
...and a fine read it is too Steve.Quote:

IDP loved the write up part two ---I still will forget my glasses when out but at least I can read where I went wrong when I get back
Who do i have to contact to get a Ponies vest? It's an xmas pressie for a lady runner. I've tried ringing our glorious unsung hero but some american bloke picked up the phone and told me Brett wasn't there :cool:
Luke I am the one I have a few left PM me with your requirements and I can bring it up next Friday to XOTF you just need her size better with bust size as well------Quote:

You have a PM, Steve. xx

I need to buy a couple more Pony vests, but would need them posting - what's the process and is there a turquoise one (ladies medium)?
Pony Amex, the vest meister, is currently recouping in warmer climes (fetlock issue). I'm sure he will get back to you in due course..............Quote:

That is true I do "go well fresh" alas freshness, has never been my strong point. so wanted to avoid posting on the Forum as its all bickering bollocks, but you seem nice.Quote:

Thank you Amex, I'm looking to augment my Fell Pony vest collection (I last bought one in 2007 :eek:- they certainly last!) with the purchase of 2 ladies medium and also 1 men's medium in order to keep my OH happy. The men's vest can be black, but what colours do you have for female vests? Also, how do I get the cash to you - I'll need the vests posting? Thanks in advance. PS - loved the Fellrunner article.
Great Pony pic Daz :cool:
Well Done that Pony :cool:

Training paid off Daz, a great result on what I believe (from Fellgazelle and Mrs.Stagger) was a really tough course!Quote:

Hey Daz, have done quite a bit this year, did L100 in July. Im booked in for TdH in December but currently have a poorly Achilles so hope to be back fit in time for that. Otherwise see you at The Hebden again. Shall I have a look at the Four Inns?! Long time since I wore my Pony vest!!! :DQuote:

ANY OTHER TAKERS...?
Not all fell Ponies are dead
Some are just resting poorly hooves!
I'm thinking of joining Tinto Hill Runners
