    However, the photo they printed does indeed appear to be of me rather than Mr Logue; so maybe I put on the wrong face as well as the wrong vest.
    Maybe you sent both and the editor reckoned you were the more photogenic

    Anyway, a good article, I hope to be there for next year's race, sounds like fun!

    When quizzed on the fact that "I thought the ponies had pink vests?"

    I replied: "Only the girls and gays!"

    Rather cheeky of me, as i gripped tightly to my bright pink MANbag.

    I think Fleeter remains the only Pony who manages to carry off the pink vest whilst still looking like a bloke...the rest of you pink wearers look rather suspect...especially Amex

    Al Fowler asked "Can i just ask, why 'Fell Ponies'?"

    Fell ponies are wild, free spirits of the fells, doing what they wish, as they wish. Galloping elegantly and effortlessly over the uplands, and completely masterless.

    Nothing whatsoever to do with the collection of "runners" of the same name then, apart perhaps for a propensity to crap everywhere. Masterless sounds good though

    99? Did you spell that right Ady

    Ian Pudge? Who's he? Sounds like a right ballbag

    Then he realised that the race was in fact heading in the opposite direction where as he infact was heading to the bar, where upon he quickened his stride, safe in the knowledge that he'd have a few under the belt before the first ones back would get there.

    I was looking through one of my wife's UltraFit magazines and a bloke doing stretching exercises (article by Nik Cook who I think runs for Goyt Vally Sriders) was wearing a BLACK Fell Pony vest.
    Not sure if it was Nick doing the exercises but it's a Fell Pony vest on the 'model'

    We certainly pop up in strange places.....I love it..... don't suppose you've been able to identify the rogue or where the picture was taken even?

    I can scan in the 'model' and post the pics.
    It might be Nik Cook (who wrote the article) but I don't know him personally only what I have read int magazine, he is a fell runner who lives in the Peak District who has a few (£10k worth) of bikes if another article is anything to go by
