Anyone know what this was about? A bit of photoshopping or was someone *really* racing with a goldfish?

They where giving them out at CP2.....something about a sale on at the local fish shop in ambleside?
I said i didnt have room in my bumbag so didnt take one.
CP2 ... yes, that would be Woodsie!!
Hope the RSPCA don't find out then! I think they were instrumental in getting goldfish banned as prizes at funfairs. I dare say they'd take an equally dim view of fish being handed out at checkpoints.Quote:

I bet it was a personal best for the gold fish . Not that it would remember .
Clearly everyone has lost touch with reality. Everyone knows mackerel are the best source of Omega 3 (and they're a more convenient shape to carry round).
Not as surprising as being passed by this...

These goldfish are obviously trying a number of sports....

There's something unusual about the chap in the background, but I just can't seem to put my finger on it:D
No CP5a was just above Cockley Beck ... then CP5b 3SS!!Quote:

Mind you - looked like you had a decent run, Marvin. (But no goldfish!!)
I wish I'd taken your route - sounds really interesting. The run was OK for me. I got fed up with carrying my goldfish so I dumped it in the tarn at Long Top and hid the bag behind a rock. Don't tell anyone though as I might get into trouble for littering, and people would shout at me on the forum!:DQuote:

Maybe he didn't eat it but released it in to Angle Tarn where it will breed with the locals and produce some sort of scary hybrid killer fish - except you could see it coming, being orange and swim away quickly.............Quote:

There's something unusual about the chap in the foreground too. :DQuote:
