Windgather was a bit too much for me to consider last year, but quite keen to do it in 2008 :cool:
I think you should do Kinder Downfall (or at least the recce ;) )
Afraid there are some of us over here;). Some even race occasionally!!!Quote:

As for Shutlingsloe, it's over that quick (even by my wheezing standards) you probably won't feel a thing 'til the next day. Anyway, you could take my knee sparing method into consideration and come down half of it on your @rse ;)
Trouble is, the other half won't let you get in the car for the trip home then 'cos:
"Why, oh, why do you do it? Look at you. You're a disgrace."
However, Shuts is at the Crag Hall Rose Queen Fete, so there are games for the children and a nice atmosphere, but don't tell everyone... they'll all want to come.
Incidentally, it always seems to hose down with rain beforehand so as to soften the going for the runners and test the patience of the spectators (who in my case are only there out of a sense of obligation anyway).
As for Kinder Downfall, I'll look it up and see what's what... you never know I might, just might, make it and give you a Kinder Surprise.
west yorkshire 's the darkside , east yorkshire 's where the sun shines :DQuote:

Advice Required
I have been invited by a lady friend to go riding with her but am unsure over how to respond. Should I accept this offer?:confused: If I participate in the aforementioned event what effect, if any, will it have on my running ability, amongst other things?:confused:I have told her I am a Fell Pony but strangely this seemed to make the invitation more insistent.
Accept the offer, respond by grabbing the reins and gallop off, try and stay in the saddle, that should impress her, and as for your running (I have seen you run) wont do you any harm at all:DQuote:

We have no rules Roger Rabbit, use and abuse away. Run as little or as often as you like.
And I thought it was ponies! Named after those sturdy beats that scamper across the highland wilderness.Quote:

Regional Note: Pone - A staple of the early American colonies from New England southward to Virginia was pone, a bread made by Native Americans from flat cakes of cornmeal dough baked in ashes. Pone is one of several Virginia Algonquian words (including hominy and tomahawk) borrowed into the English of the Atlantic seaboard. The word pone, usually in the compound cornpone, is now used mainly in the South, where it means cakes of cornbread baked on a griddle or in hot ashesas the Native Americans originally cooked it.
And i thought it was sturdy beasts, beats me:confused:Quote:
