First phone call I had was actually from ANTISOCIAL.....he broke down in tears proclaiming:
"I love you guys, I love the ponies, I want to be a pony, I pretend I'm a pony at home....I drink out of a trough and everything......."
If that doesn't speak volumes I don't know what does.[/QUOTE]

What an experience and what better reason to wear your Pony colours (whatever the colour) with pride! It was great to meet so many Ponies and forumites.
Gerry and George played and blinder, and Mr. C.... your organisation and preparation was superb... slicker than an eels slickest parts.
As a BG virgin, the whole day was a hugely enjoyable adventure. I didn't think I'd be up to doing Leg 5 as well as Leg 2, but felt good after a fry up in the morning and thought,
"Well I'm here now and will regret it if I don't"
And am I glad I did... the atmosphere was buoyant to say the least and after poor weather earlier, the views across to Keswick and beyond were gorgeous.
Ok, so I turned my glass ankle a couple of times and belted my (now well bruised) knee on a rock getting a bit clumsy coming down off Robinson, but it was pretty trivial.
Seeing Nee Bother scree running was a reet spectacle...
The sights, sounds, company and atmosphere were awesome. That reception in Keswick took my breath away.
I have the taste for more of it, but don't know when or how... getting the time to go up and get involved again won't be easy, but I'll up for it when the opportunity arises.
Gerry, George and Derek, you're the stars and the supporting cast was well impressive. Well done to everyone... the comaraderie, atmosphere and acheivement has left this Fell Donkey with a grin from ear to ear!
well done everyone, sounds great
Can't wait till the next one..................
who's it gonna be..............................
Sounds like DJ and Moontain Goatee are up for next year (if we can drag em out the pub
Ha ha LR, great report. And those are exactly the legs I helped on the previous weekend, and I had the fry-up inbetween as well
Well done everyone this weekend. I knew Daz would do it, no problem! Fantastic stuff Marvin to get up Broad Stand!! I hope you'll come on here at some point and share your thoughts as you climbed up there
To those who didn't manage to complete, well done for giving it a go, hope you're encouraged to give it another go and things go right for you then.
Oh, and on the subject of Antisocial, I was having a quick flick through the "Hebden Bridge Times" whilst we were up there house-hunting over the weekend.....and whose face should be staring out from the pages?
Couldn't tell if he was wearing a Fell Ponies vest, it was a black & white photo
