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.
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![]()
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![]()
