Cheers Deejay, I'm sold on the idea, pretty new to fell running, coming from a background of cycling. Gained entry to the 3 peaks cyclocross this year so started running some hills and did a couple of fell races and really enjoyed them. Good set of people i've met, not as aloof as some cyclists. Ran/walked the 3 peaks in september in 6.5 hours with my mate and his 12 year old lad. Felt i could of done it quicker, we had to slow up a bit for the lad, he did good though for 12 years old. Probably could have done it in 6 hours 29mins without him;)

But what about the Ponies who dont want to do the relays? or even race? Why should they pay UKA? Methinks we dont belong with UKA:cool:

Shall we find out about the other relays for next year tho? Put Mrs Crumbly onto it!:D

The Race Organiser would be the person to decide if the Fell Ponies can enter a team into his event.

Other teams managers or members may challenge the entry however, particularly if a strong, combined team of ponies gallops away with any trophies.
