c u on the 27th then; or 29th
here is a friend of mine , do you think she will make a good ponyette
do you all know each other ? is this some kind of freaky forum for clubbie pals to chit chat inbetween races ? i've been away for a couple of years, only running in rocks and dust and i'm despairing for the world of fell running - everyone has forgotten whats it all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scampi, i tend to find that fellrunning, unlike other branches of 'mainstream' athletics is full of colour characters, erstwhile known as ballbags.....i think this forum reflects that appropriately...hence its colourful
are u a pony too ?
Scampi is having a dig :D. In answer to your question, posting under 'general chat' needn't be anything to do with fell running although this thread is.... I guess. A lot of fell race goers run unattached to clubs or alternatively belong to road running clubs - the fell ponies gives them a common vest to race in, thats all. Oh and if more than one fell pony turns up at a race they'll naturally speak to each other and get to know each other.
As for what fell running is all about, that's easy, its about running in the fells.
Fry the Scampi:p
Stolly Congrats on becoming a 'master' Forumite. what did 'the' master say?
were all ballbags...........enough said
No I didnt join just to have a dig at Fell Ponies - I was intrigued by them as I would never had joined a forum to talk to normal clubbers so i did join to try and see what held you together - then i got a bit worried that you all knew each other anyway and had planned a crappy club in the pub. Dont think you are, but i'm best sticking to myself as i dont make good company
I've been running for a few years, quietly and avoiding twats in clubs who used to try and talk to me because I fitted into their "uniform". I've been away for a few years - but now I'm back and in that time forums and fell ponies have really taken off. Must admit I was a bit off with you all and apologies are offered on that part, but as you all recognise we're all twats that do this - i'll keep reading but keep quiet. but if i meet master or merrylegs on the snowdon race they'll see what a kukri is for
Dear Scampi,
I am really not understanding why you are taking time out of your life to come on here just to make comments like the one in that last sentence of your statement.
I have been hill walking for a number of years now and have spent many days in the hills on my own. I started to add a bit of running to it last year to train for an event I was doing with some work pals and have wanted to improve on my time from there. I don't have much confidence but braved to enter a few races this year and found it very very daunting being there on my own, (until I met some Ponies in the bar afterwards!) as I didn't know whether or not I would even keep up with the last person! I joined this forum and the Fell Ponies because I need a bit of encouragement and tips on how to do better. I can't join a 'club' because of my working hours. I am not very good or very fast but I was welcomed with much friendliness by people on here, and they are all very willing to give good advice. Don't knock it! Each to their own ;)
your point is very well made and taken - good luck with it all.
Does that mean you've re-sheathed the kukri?
Glad my name wasn't on that short list, Merrylegs and master WHO ,,never heard of them!!!!!!????
Moving on ,,,,, MG will it be safe to cycle through Northallerton tomorrow afternoon on my way to Knaresbrough to pick my car up. That Blue flash that went past me at Guisborough (and that was only on the car park) should be parked up at work I assume:eek: .
Glad you enjoyed meeting ponies plus DFR Nee Bother , wait until you meet the crazy ones. Enjoy your trail race this weekend.
Had e-mail off DJ today he can't post on forum but can read ok.
i've never taken it out
Hi AK,
I can assure you it will be very safe to cycle in my town tomorrow! My car will sadly be parked up in York for 12 hours so just make sure you're gone by 9pm and you'll be ok!!! :p It's been fantastic the past 2 days driving around with my top off! :D
DJ...I am soooo jealous of you being in LD for two weeks. It is my favourite place...especially Grasmere. Hope you are having a lovely time. :)
Don't be so touchy, your just a little cuddly.
Being serious now, i used to feel the same, till i joined the ponies, they do make good company, you can be as friendly or unfriendly as you want, its up to you, bet you and me could be good friends, as long as you don't threaten me or any other ponies with a kukri:eek: Do you come with chips and salad, cos i'm starving:D
All this talk of unsheathing made me laugh...disgraceful!
Was that a french letter that was just posted, i can't condom that sort of forum abuse:eek:
I still can't quite work out what point scampi was trying to make, jumping into this thread, questioning everyone's fell running credentials and looking for a knife fight ;).
