I've just plotted PBR leg 4 on Tracklogs, copying the official route exactly (there are so many long ways round that are ripe for short cutting by anyone who might lack a scruple or two). The distance comes out exactly right at 5.5 miles and the ascent is 867' (114' more than stated). I trust Tracklogs implicitly. I wonder if that under-estimation of ascent applies to the other legs? (Not that it matters really; I just get on with it and take whatever comes.)
Turbo Tom - please could you PM me your email address, Thanks
(or if anybody else knows it...?)
Right! I'm about to sound dumb! Fell Ponies...I take it they're a sort of 'national' club rather than from a certain town or region. A chap on here started them, I know not the reason? Could I have a very brief outline of thier raison d'etre, as it where!! As my curiosity is perked!!
Cheers!!

Tom - what bits of transport are you struggling for?
fjell guy - raison... ? er, no! just etre!
tell you what - if you take Tom's place on Leg 4 of the PBW Relay, you can find out first hand what it's like to be a Pony!
[vest supplied - choice of colours!]
I want to run but im short of all mandatory gear atm....so cag, bottoms, bumbag, map, whistle, compass......if I can get them im in
Tom - if it's just kit you're short of, I'm sure we can round up some for you to borrow
are you OK for all transport though? (Nick can help on the day)
A lift back from the leg would be good, other than that I reckon il be able to get to and from train stations fairly easily
No membership, no regional base, no records, no rules, no subs, no nuthin'.Right! I'm about to sound dumb!

(Antisocial would add 'no brains, no talent', but he's just jealous and loves us all really.)
The more the merrier. Sense of humour and liking for beer an advantage. Just buy a vest from Amex and you're in.

Tussockface - will you be there in any capacity on Sunday?
