Just read Amex's race report. Funny and fantastic! Well done
I think I prefered the other.![]()
I'm guessing there can't be anything as formal as an accurate Fell Pony membership list? The only criterion for being a Pony is possession of a vest;
and vests can be swapped, stolen, given as gifts, or recycled via Help the Aged or the church rummage sale...
This means that anyone can be a Pony. They might not even be a fell runner, or know that such a thing as fell running exists. They could wear their vest for gardening or shopping, or for decorating the hall.
Ponies will roam, and know no master....
Just read the report of Amex's triumph- congratulations Amex!
Isn't it weird being in the lead in a race? It's only happened to me once, 18 years ago in a road race, and although I was on a dual carriageway with no side roads, junctions or turnings, I was terrified I was going the wrong way. There were several hundred people behind me and I felt as if every one of them was breathing down my neck.
Fortunately, the natural order was soon restored and I could settle back down into following others....![]()
