Fell Ponies??

C'mon all you anonymous Ponies, and where's the speed merchants Fellmonster and The Master, get your MANbags packed for this

If you put in a blokes team, and a bird... I mean lady-pony runs who's going to complain? Could understand if it's a mixed team and it's all blokes, but not the other way round?

Do you need to order up some more vests to get 10 runners kitted out? I'll have one if theres one going. Mind you, a bloke wearing a pink pony vest will probably get called a girl anyway!

Good point!
I was going to email the organiser anyway, so I'll ask!

right - Pennine Bridleway Relay Update

spoke to organiser (Graham Wright) via email and:

1) "An open team can comprise any combination of men and ladies, providing it does not comprise 5 men and 5 ladies as it then becomes a mixed team."
which is good

2) "online entry allows you to revisit and log in at any time to alter your team be it the category or pairings on the legs etc."
which is very good, meaning we can change between Open and Mixed at our whim!

3) "The rule re wearing club vests is only there to assist the marshals at the changeovers to identify the pairings incoming and can be waived in a case like yours."
which basically means we can wear any old assortment of vests, cos they know what a motley crew we are!

So... how's about I go ahead and enter one team?

anyone DEFINITE - PM me with your real name, so I can allocate slots on a first-come-first-served basis

we can re-jig the actual leg-allocations/pairings at our leisure

and if we get significantly more than 10 volunteers, we can think about putting in a second team!

Daz you can count Marcel in for this he will be a pony by jan. and he also knows the way, however he does suffer slightly from tourettes as Merrylegs can verify.

since Deejay hasn't definitely confirmed, I can allow Marcel to sneak in as the 10th "Provisional"

and following your PM, we now have:

Pennine Bridleway Definites:
1) Daz
2) Crumblydown
3) Mrs C
4) Marcel

Hi Daz.

I've been watching this thread develop and am definitely up for a go at this. Well done for your efforts so far!!

Unfortunately I am a really slow runner (and havent run since Thieveley Pike, but there's plenty of time to train!) so would be quite willing to act as a reserve or step aside for a quicker 'athlete'!

If I ran I would need a comparably slow partner.
I'll even give you a hand on the day with logistics/ lifts if that is more useful.

I have run as a pony at the Stanbury Splash, so I have me own vest!

Regards
Nelly
ps I have sent you a pm
