Just a post to let you know the Fell Ponies are straying up to the North East.
I spotted a couple of overweight Ponies cantering round in the mist at Saltergate Gallows race yesterday!!!
I want to be a pony![]()
Just debating whether to join the Ponies club. What is the cost etc and what do I need to do?
My apologies... it would seem I am not only inappropriately attired, but I didn't even have the vocabulary to understand it!
Do you let anyone into this club!?
Did Windgather on Sunday... true to form, right near the back and approaching double the winner's time. Must mean I have twice the stamina![]()
I threw a couple of shoes, had a tumble or two followed by a roll around in the mud, but summoned up the energy to pass a striking young filly in the final furlong. I'm pretty sure I was the final bloke to finish. It was the usual scenario of crossing the line as half the field are driving home!
Beautiful weather and scenery and thanks to all involved in making it happen. Good chance I'll do it next year.
Incidentally, anyone else find those stone slabs going up Shining Tor unpleasant to run on?
Don't want to sound like a spoilt brat and I can only imagine the hard graft involved in putting them there, but they are absolutely unyielding. There is a small stretch of them upto the Shutlingsloe, but there must twenty times more on ShiningTor. Just wondered waht the view was on the running they offer?
Welcome to the fold ponies!
We must have some relay team by now! New vest order is under manufacture as I speak
