Fell Ponies??

[Tussockface]

I remember passing TF going up Robinson but then he mysteriously appeared ahead of me near Catbells. (How on earth did you do that?)

Nip back down, taxi waiting at Newlands church, couple of pints in the Swinside, stroll up the tourist track, pin number back on, easy. Nobody ever asks questions if you stay well out of the prizes.

Excellent notion. My future race tactics have been decided

I brought some Snecklifter home...

And my quads are still bl**dy sore, even after a decent bike ride today

But it was a brilliant weekend... Great company... Possibly the slowest I have ever run, let alone raced, but am glad I did it... Mind you, lesson learnt: don't count on cycling fitness alone for an 11 mile fell race... Unless you want your quads to hurt like hell for days afterwards, even after copious quantities of local ale to try and numb te pain!

And of course I spotted the Fell Pony flag! I even got my camera out to take a picture of it, then for some reason I didn't...

Its because you saw me and Pudgy.

And Han, where was the pony vest?

[Hanneke]

I was wearing it, where were your eyes?

Great to hear grand tales of success from the Anni Waltz !
sounds like the Ponies would definitely've been in with a chance of the team prize for beer drinking!
Al's pic of the Fell Ponies flag flying proudly on Robinson made my heart soar
5 Ponies in the results, plus a few "incognito" ones to boot!

2 Ponies in the results at Rivi Pike - myself and one mysterious other...
nice to meet Derby Tup, who said he had a Ponies vest, but was atrociously attired in the colours of a "proper" club
who fancies a game of "Where's Wally"? - or in this case "Where's Daz"?:

Thats a great photo.

hey, I'm not that mysterious, I came all the way to Rivi Pike from Shropshire - via Stockport slightly late, stressed & in a bit of a hurry, and no vest . Shame, as I don't get to the north too often. 'Tis a tidy little run though, reminded me of the Wrekin 'cept we dont have the cobbled path..See the Ponies didnt win team prize then

[Derby Tup]

That photo really captures the feel of Rivi Pike well I can see DTS and I'm a few places ahead in 'atrocious' club vest. alanj must be round and about too as he finished one place after me

[emmilou]

Any of you Ponies doing the K Downfall?? May dust down the pink vest for this one...
