I was thinking as there are so many of us planning the Cumbrian Way that we could do a meal altogether somewhere on the Sunday evening. Then I thought if anyone doesn't think they can walk 15 miles a day or can't commit 5 days perhaps they would like to come up and join us in our meal and maybe just walk with us on Monday. Does that sound possible??

That sounds good to me. I will probably be up there anyway then, but a bit early for me to commit to this but will keep an eye on the forum.

Sorry Corrie, I'm skiing with my lads over Easter.
I'll try and make the next one you organise.

The way this sites taking off ,I think were all going to have some very special memories to take into our dotade.

Corrie, I am up for the meal/drink even if I have to be spoon fed and a drip fitted cos I will be sooo knacked!! LOl
Let me know if I can help out, me off to Welsh Wales now - Pit Pony

Up for that 🙂

Yes please :0)

Okay this sounds like a plan!!! Shall start to search out a good venue.

interested if the dates are right for me

As there is only one hotel might be up for the first couple of days and the meal

I'll be there too Corrie, thanks xx

Yum Yum

Corrie, let me know if I can help on planning/mucking in/sorting/admin etc take a bit of pressure off maybe. Also sorting money etc PP

Be careful Corrie I think hes only after some help with his mucking out lol
FL

That's my man FL - or female!!, sorry I'm confused n cautious about your I.D. Hope you will "muck in" on a walk after you surpass your fears and quest for anonymity. Nothing in life is insurmountable - happy to see you mucking in on a walk soon maybe - PP

I feel the need to pull you up there or should I say wooooooo wooooooo certain things in life ARE insurmountable !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alan(MALE)

There you go FL Alan (Male), put up a walk even if a little way off due to your current committments. Have a pint too afterwards - I will keep an eye on invitations - PP

Did I word that right,is that are or arn't I'm not bi-cycle never did get english literature as I live in the Black Country
Alana

Don't worry, it is immaterial how things are worded,
as long as people get the gist. I'll keep an eye out on invitations for a walk hopefully - PP

Ok look forward to meeting you,do you have a favourite treat after a long walk?
Alana

Yes, Alan (Alana) PP likes a good handful of sugar lumps after his walks and a bit of help with his mucking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got english literature, and the abbreviation for are not is aren't!!!!!!

Hi and a good evening to you ,hows the ribs??
Wow english lit ah you're clever!!!!!!
Is that supposed to be your or you're?????

It would you're and the ribs are good with bbq sauce from our local chinese!!

That should read it would be you're

You'll have to invite me round to have a nibble!!

I don't think so you can't even get on a walk!

Good cure for a hangover going for a walk! Have you had any recently?

I've told you why, at the moment its not possible I would have been in Wales Christmas otherwise instead of trying to make a few people laff with some threads so please stop having a go at me and I will do my best to meet you soon

I walked 10 miles yesterday after clearing the snow off the car I realised it was a waste of time so I walked to and from work and no hangover either !!!

Don't loose your sense of humour now FL I'm sure it won't be long before you're one of the gang - chin up

I've never had one!!!! well not that was understood!!
Alan

Each to their own but you've kept me amused even when I didn't understand it and even when it made me blush!!

Thanks ,when did you blush???

Aww bless! You have to do what you have to do and maybe you will get a photo on and on a walk with us sometime soon!!

Oh too far back to mention. Onwards and upwards so they say so now there's a picture we look forward to seeing you on a walk

Yes I look forward to meeting you too, I'm looking at the walk at the end of the month if its possible would be a last minute thing at the moment not planning to far ahead!
Alan

Shame I can't make that one at the moment but don't worry meeting us all in stages is probably best.

What did you decide was the best hangover cure? I may be needing it in the morning!

It was the oranges I brought 2Kgs they were gone in a week !!!!! How was the wine??
FL

Very nice thank you. The water before bed worked for me thankfully and the anadin today should stop the headache!

Obviously never finished the bottle then!!!I find it goes off if left opened so I normally drink it all!!!! love a chardonnay.
FL

All bottles were consumed but when you have to share it never goes far enough! I did alright, enough to make me nice and merry as you can see from my new picture

Thats good I hate to see waste!so you work for your ex partner is that difficult? I had my ex in today shes mellowing either that or she thought I may knock some off the bill,well how wrong can one be!!!!!
Great photo I would say more than half Pixxed!
FL

I guess because we were together for so long it seemed normal (weird I know but it's a long story) In fact he took the picture!

Who me - never!

Noooooooooooo
FL

Good I'm glad we've got that cleared up ha ha ha ha

What the empties!!! if I had a penny for every can I'ld be a millioniare by now!

Yeah yeah yeah instead you just spent it on more I guess - or are you a secret millionaire?

No love,money doesn't bring happiness LOVE does
FL

Happiness brings more happiness, love brings contentment and a warm fuzzy feeling

A warm fuzzy feeling thats an hangover did you find an half enpty bottle???

I'm not sure what sort of hangovers you have but I'm glad I don't get that drunk!

Ah I think I can see this now, you must be preserved by now FL what with Jim Bean, Johnnie Walker and 1,000,000 cans, actually I would say you were well and truly pickled!

Maybe !!!!! don't you every sleep???
FL

Do you? Not at the moment with fractured ribs!!!

AliB how are those ribs mending? It's not going to stop you having fun is it - hope not?

Of course not TMiW, I have a chest infection but on the mend now thanks, sleeping a bit better but on the up!! You ok?

Yes I'm good thanks Glad to hear you're on the mend - looking forward to seeing you again soon

Hi, TMiW chest infection cleared!! Now I'm on the mend, realise how rough I felt! will see you for Pen Y Fan in Feb, looking forward to it.

Yeah 🙂

Ali-B, did the horse linament n chest rub do any good? Worked for me a treat after I realised it was for rubbing in and not spreading on horse biscuits!! Glad your on the mend, you are a hardy n much admired!! Any time your up this way pop your head over the hedge - sorry under the hedge - n give us a neigh for a bit of company - missing the canter banter - ole PP X
PS Yep I know me backs drooping n me belly hangs I aint purfect just an old Albert really - Welshie!! Lol.

Hey PP I hope you're not dissing Snickers Albert? And less of the old you're in the prime of your walking life as we all are! 🙂

PP I'm doing ok, linament good, and I am definitely on the mend. Are you saying I'm short? I am looking forward to meeting up in god's own country in Feb and we'll have a bit of canter banter then. None of us are perfect but we are not old oh no we're not!!! lol x

TMiW I don't think PP would dis Snickers Albert he has mucho respect init!! x

PS - PP I have made a discovery about Pit Ponies, they were also called Colliery Horses so are you going to change your name? x

Hi TMIW how you doin? Prime of me life, don't seem to connect when I look at my reflection in water trough!! I love ya feedback bestest pony wishes to ya. Would you ever sit me in your convertible? What a pony pic that would be!!
Me diss Lord Snicks - no way!! I ate most of the contents of his fridge at Twixmas and still on guilt trip!! I wouldn't dare touch his Albert there are limits you know!!
AB: Me say your short Queen Ali-B, no way mylady you are my shetland mate and canter banter buddy. I wud willing throw a shoe off me hoof to protect you ma'am. Glad the linament was gud, remind me to tell you what I put innit next time we canter banter lol X Oh Yes!!!!

"Colliery Horse" that sounds posh!! PP more worky class and fits the bill but suppose a dickie bow round me neck could be okay!! Crikey horse sounds bigger than a pony too - bet they have stainless steel shoes aswell!! You bin doing a bit of research on us pit ponies then? Love to know who my Dad was - lol. I cud be up for a name change then but PP rolls off the tongue a lot better than CH eh!!

Good to hear guys. Glad we are all in good health. Reflections aren't all they're cracked up to be PP the soul is where it all counts. And yes you would be welcome in my convertable any day - which month for the calendar would that be then? 😉

PP - shetlands are short!! I thank you for your kind words sir! I would love to know what was in it, felt hot almost peppery! lol! I will be looking for the recipe in Feb. No don't change your name, Colliery Horse is a bit posh, not that you aren't but you are right Pit pony does have a certain ring to it. lol!

I growing taller by the second - keep it coming TMIW. It would have to be a summer snap if I'm sat on me rump in your convertible holding me girth in firmly with a smile!! I'm up for it, but will you do my eyelashes first and a bit of plucking around me grey mush - what would be my best side?

Yes TMiW shall we put him in for June or July, I can see it now Pit pony does convertible!! lol

We could give you a good rub down, dye your grey mush for you if you want PP and paint your hooves, plait your mane and tail oh you would look like a new pony lol!!

Ring!! You got me mixed up with an Austrian cow now!! Oh the bells, the bells!! I will certainly be willing to share the special ingredients of my linament mix in Feb Queen Ali-B of Shetland!! Salt goes with Pepper with a bit of chilli too!! The hotter the betterer I say but does quench the thirst - I can drink through a straw do you know!! But only in dimmed light so few notice!!

Fabulous - but of course dear. A little greying makes a pit pony more distinguished don't you know! 😉 We'll take one from every angle just to be on the safe side! Perfect tag line AliB

Right 2 down 10 to go - who's next?

Hey lets go for it then, wud love a good rub down and dyeing!! The mane bit though, plait me mane with what? Can you flick me tail over maybe n have a centre parting? Paint me hooves now that would be a sight for blinkered eyes!! Think I wod nod off though if somebody played with me tail, make me go all goofy and weak in me knees!!

Be careful what you ask for PP!!! The new tage line could PP queen of the dessert!

Alib the alternate tag line could be "My Little Pony" All the girls will be wanting to plait ribbons in his mane

I think he should be My little Pit Pony! - famous for his canter banter! lol

You're right TMiW we have 2 only 10 to go but we better get a move on if we want these in the shops by July for the Christmas market!! What about MB and Davem if PP is in I'm sure davem will want to be!

TMIW: See your getting Davem involved - sneaky move! I aint going into any stocks front or rear legs with Davem about, him being a PTI n all that!!! Hey me being a Leo I should be King of the Jungle (or coal mine) not Queen of the Dessert - what you trying to say TMIW!! Lol.
TMIW which month are you in? Take it Queen Ali-B of Shetland is innit too?, cos I think she is deep innit now!!
QAB of Shettie shud be Saucy September and you TMIW Naughty November. Can we have a few "mixed" photo snaps covering the Seasons?

TMiW I think we are getting ourselves in a bit of trouble here!
PP it is a boys calendar and as that rules TMiW and myself out, but I think mine and TMiW reputations are going before us, he he! what are you saying PP mixed photos!!! I think you are going to be trouble on these walks!

Queen of the Dessert was a ref to Prescilla Queen of the Dessert as you were talking about painted hooves and ribbons in your mane etc

Maybe if someone is the official photographer on the Welsh 3000 they can get a good photo of Dave in action and he can do his birthday month (but not in his birthday suit as modesty should prevail)!

AliB what else is new? But we can handle it (I'm right behand you!) lol

How come I'm up the front now? These boys could be trouble! Maybe we could go with flowers of the months!!! they'd look sweet, PP could have a daisy!! Or perhaps PP could have a pony suit, BK could be a busy bee, oh this gets better (well in my mind it is!) x

Fangs TMIW for clarifying Prescilla the "Queen of the Dessert" thingy - I am a silly PP!! Still don't bother me you can paint me hooves and ribbon my mane but don't cross dress me!! Love to see that show, down pit it was definitely backs to the wall as there were always surprises with working in the dark!!.

AliB because you're a stronger woman than I am - you've already proved that. I'm always better in a back up roll anyway!

Ooooh flowers my crazy mind likes that idea. BK get making that outfit I'm sure it won't take that long with your skills.

Actually it's a very good film PP and less about sexual preferences and more about friendships.

Good I never had a "My Little (Pit) Pony when I was young and everyone tells me it's never too late! lol

I think we should do a joint effort no leaders!! we'll have a reputation TMiW (The terrible twins!) springs to mind! lol!

Yes I thought flowers would be nice, the imagination runs wild as to where and what we could do with them! BK we look forward to the first version of the outfit by Feb walk!! We know you can do it, we've seen your Octopussy and your duck impression with mere pringles!! lol!

Never too late for anything TMiW my girls had my little ponies, never my little (Pit) ponies though!! lol

If we can enlist BK then we only need another 9, come on boys time is drifting on!!

Joint effort works for me AliB. I think I quite like girls from St Trinians! that way anyone can join us 🙂

This is the adult version AliB for the young at heart! pmsl

Yeah come on Guys. Maybe if we list it as it's own thread more people will show an interest. As it says in "Field of Dreams" "....if you build it they will come..." Ha ha ha

Ok, the three musketeers r up for this.... all for one and one for all !!! we've got our kilt ideas sorted all ready !!!!!!! This could be fun.

I've got a better idea now Jan, why don't the boys do St Trinians!! now that would be a laugh, well it would be in my eyes, lmao!

TMiW yeah, St Trinians for the naughty adult girls works for me! Come on girls come and join us!

I knew you would be up for this Davem if your buddy PP was, I'd like to see you too as twins!!

The boys doing St Trinians could be good fun AliB - I'd like to see that! pmsl

Davem are they Irish kilts or Scottish kilts? because if they're Scottish you know they definitely go comando (I have proof!)

Now your legs in a kilt would be worth a picture Snickers but I don't think that do a commando tartan - but I could be wrong!

Never mind the scottish or the irish what about a Welsh tartan, we do have em you know!! We are made of strong stuff down here and they definitely go commando, Snicks we can have a special camo one made for you!! lmao!

Oh AliB how remiss of me. Of course you do! See snicks you can join in! :0)

So you are tryingto drag me into your photo collection.
Ali-bach...I've already got a bee suit..but it's not what you are possibly thinking. Could do Sherk again, but it would have to be with donkey or Princess Fiona.
Also remember the Cornish tartan!!

Donkey!! Donkey!! I'm a thoroughbred pit pony me BK!! How u doing anyway BK? I wanna see Shrek again please and will have my camera RTG this time.

BK, how you doing? I'm not trying to drag you in I am getting led astray! I'd like to see that bee suit!! Shrek, right well that could change things perhaps you could all do disney characters!! This really is getting us girls going you know, we really have to crack on with it we'll miss the Christmas market and sorry about forgetting the Cornish tartan, now there's a thought!!!

Snicks it would only be your kilt in camo, you would shine out as the knight you are!!

Where are the girls tonight, I feel a bit on my own with the three of you and no back-up, TMiW where are you?

QAB, TMIW has been locked up in the tower for the night for leading a mischief upon us men!! (Well and Jan too and a few others!!) You my lady QAB of Shetland have to face us three men on your own!!! A Kangeroo Court!! We have decided you will not be beheaded (actually I would grieve missing my Shetland canter banter, gone a bit soft on ewe, never make an executioner me!!) but you may be put on the rack with no slack for stretching the imagination of other mischief ladies!!
How are you QAB of S? Have you given them a good prodding? Your ribs!! PP x

You can't lock the girls up with my say so! I think you are on your own now PP! Stick em up, stick em up!! Leo, I'm not scared (much) of you! Actually not at all! Ribs are good thanks, work tomorrow, The girls are quiet this evening! Girls help!!

What is a "say so"? Lol. Courage of a Lion me!! Yeah put em up!! put em up!! Work!! orrible to hear that word!! You feeling a bit lonely shetland pony tonight? If you were nearer you could have cantered up this way, shoved your head under me hedge n bantered see. Wonder if the girls are having a pow wow on the calendar?

I'm here I'm here! Sorry out doing a bit of socialising with some friends - still birthday celebrating with those who couldn't make it earlier in the month. A very loveley meal at a very lively restaurant with a very cute waiter who although didn't have chocolates served me with my favourite dessert "banoffee"! I believe tonight is Jan's night for a bit of dancing - she's learning Modern Jive.

Now what's all this? The men getting brave when Alib is on her own?

Disney characters - Mmmmm Well I did think Snickers made a pretty good Peter Pan and a man in tights......interesting Thereb was an octopus in The little Mermaid but you're far too nice for that BK and the wrong sex! I think I will have to think on about this AliB. Disney is so cute - can it be macho?

Yes, they've been ganging up on me whilst you have been out socialising. I am back to work tomorrow! That PP is getting very naughty must rein him in!

I am a good boy TMIW, QAB of Shetland is laying it on think honest PP wouldnt tell a fib!! Two gals now and one PP - there's a challenge!!

And snicks man in bikini!! I think we need to have a pow wow in Feb about this calendar, we can take sneaky photos!

Not surprisingly I'm up for that AliB.

Shame on you boys ganging up on an injured (not defenseless) woman. Me thinks there may have to be some forfeits to be had for this!

Way to go TMiW, they have ganged up on me all evening! Never mind QAB will have her revenge! No not really! I think we should have truth or dare Jenga in Feb though, wear lots of clothes boys!!!

Will you pluck my fur instead??

PP Don't have fur do they? You can plait your mane, plait your tail and paint your hooves but you can't hide from truth or dare!

Awe go on - you'll be plucking me forever!!

I'm up for that too then druth or tare or whatever it is!! Paint on QAB give me a good spruce up!!

PP Don't have fur do they? You can plait your mane, plait your tail and paint your hooves but you can't hide from truth or dare!

Now that sounds like Queen AliB has thrown down the gauntlet!! Be afraid boys, be very afraid :0)

girls versus boys truth or dare it is then! PP because you are so naughty you can go first for the boys!!

I love gaunlet throwing!! Keep em coming!!

I will - but is it what you see is what you have to get!!

On that note I think it's time for bed! The thoughts going around in my head would make for very strange dreams indeed! Sleep tight all

Nite nite - dream banoffee's with crunchie base

nos da PP & TMiW I'm off as well the mid boggles! x

North Star Ali m TMIW - sorry it's a day late I obviously got into bed before you!! Typical Pony
LOl X
