    Re: Gisborough Moors

    A highly enjoyable race, with varied terrain and potentially fast bits, as well as Roseberry Topping....'Mmmmm, Roseberrry Topping' (Homer Simpson voice)....

    Good to meet hillbilly, with whom I did plenty of to-ing and fro-ing until his mudmonster prowess proved superior. Also, a paddockful of friendly Ponies, including Ambrosia Kid and DeeJay. Nee Bother, thanks for coming across at the end and making yourself known. I thought I caught a glimpse of Ernest Flange-Nibbler too, but I could be mistaken; it was near the end, and the mind can play tricks when you're exhausted...

    Re: Gisborough Moors

    I nearly asked several lady runners if they were Mountain Goatess, but decided I wouldn't risk getting slapped. MG, please can you find some way of identifying yourself next time? A self-adhesive beard or set of horns would be sufficient, or Walshes with a cloven hoof outsole.

Enjoyed the run even though I fell hard on the rocky path down to Roseberry and then my legs gave out going accross to Highcliffe nab. Good day out.
    I've also posted this on the Ponies bit so I can insult AK twice after he revealed my strictly off the record comments about a fellow forumite

    It was a good race, assuming the definition of a good race is "being totally trashed by the end"

    Tussockface
    Good to meet you today. You certainly fooled me with your race plan "I Start slowly and then ease up" When you eased up I lost you and never saw you until the end!

    Mountain Goatess
    Good to meet you as well. I must apologise for my lack of manners in not offering you the last piece of carrot cake. I can only blame my collapsed state after the race and the danger that if you'd refused then the old one, I mean Ambrosia Kid would have scranned it, or worse Nee Bother might have got it

    Ambrosia Kid will no doubt be posting soon to tell you all about the horrible injuries he received when he fell 300 feet down the fellside

    Re: Gisborough Moors

    Well done to all who ran muddy Gisborough today, I enjoyed it, hope you all did too

    It was good to match up some faces with names,anyone else there?

    Race Report.................

    I spotted Nee Bother running away from Vinegar Hill hotly pursued by the Ambrosia Kid who fell 500 feet whilst being chased by a Naked Man who in turn outran the Hillbilly after his tussle with Tussockface and a Mountain Goatess . When's it gonna stop Deejay. Was it a Breeze at the prize giving too? Obviously never spotted the lesser spotted Ernest Flange-Nibbler, possibly just as well with a name like that
    Stop Press...One guy should've had Oven Gloves on his tyres when he got stuck on rugby pitch

    Oi less of the cheeky.

    Well done today by the the way, it was a tough race, I saw you finishing and you didn't look too tired or stressed, you said you've only been running a year or so. Have you raced much in this time?
