Hi
I am getting married at the end of April and we have been trying to find one reading or poem that is fell related or even running related, could anybody help?:)
thank you very much for any ideas, we are really struggling to find anything................1
Helen
I've long had a soft spot for the song of the ungirt runner, as featured in Clockwork Mice.
Bit schmaltzy, but then so am I.
Are there any poems in Jaynes diary??

Staring with fiery eyeballs as he rusht,
I heard the blood within his body thump,
I saw him launch, I heard the toppings crusht.
And as he landed I beheld his soul
Kindle, because, in front, he saw the Straight
With all its thousands roaring at the goal,
He laughed, he took the moment for his mate.
Would that the passionate moods on which we ride
Might kindle thus to oneness with the will;
Would we might see the end to which we stride,
And feel, not strain, in struggle, only thrill.
And laugh like him and know in all our nerves
Beauty, the spirit, scattering dust and turves.

to find a magical poem
to aid her marriage
she doesnt want a carriage
all she wants is some fell related tips
so she doesnt have to get to grips
with thinking up a ryhme with faults
perhaps she should do the anni waltz
sshe likes her running
and im sure she is stunning
so get your thinking caps on
and make her the number one
our first forum wedding this will be
so shout your thoughts out with a bit of glee
lets hope she has a brilliant day
and gets a myo xp to light the way
err do you need anymore:rolleyes:

A book containing fell running poetry is
"A Time to Reflect" by Peter Travis.
Excaliber Press. London, 1993.
(a difficult book to find now)
Peter has published many of his poems in the Fell Runner Magazine.
Pyschic or what?Quote:

Among tussock and heather
Long and steady I did go
Good running, light as a feather.
You told me how you ran alone
On crag and over stream
Ascending strong, descending quick
Creating time to dream.
We dreamt of sharing climbs and views
Sharing multiplies the pleasure
The force of nature heard us
Bringing us together.
Shared miles led us to discover
What fate meant us to do
I found the meaning in my life
The day I fell for you.
How many forum names do you go under Daz? :)Quote:

Thank you all for your replies, sorry for the delay in replying! Very much appreciate your ideas, several contenders there..........
We have found a fell race the day after the wedding very near to where we are getting married "Some you Win", but depends if we can politely escape!
thanks again
Helen
Perhaps not the best named route to celebrate your wedding but it is a craker. Let us know if you are coming, I'm sure "Skyline" will come up with something special for you.:eek:Quote:
