I know, you wanted me to lay

But I can't ignore the crazy visions of us here today.

And I heard that there's a special place

Where boys and girls can play ponies every single day

Was having wicked dreams

Of driving the ponies

AA and Rough as fugh

I swear they’ve come to see

She’d make her mama proud

She’d help her on this day

I’d see my baby girl

Start on her virgin lay!

God, what have we done?

She’s a hill pony girl

Who can ride to the pub

Oh mama, we’re just having fun

Showing off to the hash

It's where we belong

down at the Hill Pony Club

We’re gonna keep on riding at the

Hill Pony Club

You’re gonna keep on running, down in Trail Cordonford

I'm gonna keep on riding at the

Hill Pony Club, Hill Pony Club

Circle, and jaws are on the floor

Ponies in a carriage and a drive up to the moor

Most go, to Corndon on the lane

Meeting with the walkers w’thought we’d never see again.

Swapped like my wicked dreams

To ponies we could ride

We raced past Primms and then

To Dr Blackall’s Drive

It’s getting dark as night

Riding by torch headlight

Charlie and Alfie boys

We ride down to the stream

God, what have we done?

That’s my hill pony girl

Made you run through the mud!

Oh mama, we’re just having fun

Fish in Simons Lake, yes

It's where you belong, we’re in the

Hill Pony Club

We’re gonna keep on riding at the

Hill Pony Club

You’re gonna keep on wading, down in

Trail Corndonford

You can take your shoes off, at the

Hill Pony Club, Hill Pony Club

Don't think you’ve left us both behind

Closing in, by cantering

Mel Tor is where we’ll find

Hashers, at the view point there

We can hear your on on shout, it echos back to hares, saying

God, you’ve found our marks!

Were two hill pony girls

Doctor Blackalls is next

Oh hashers, it’s just getting dark

A quick loop of the drive

Just try not to look, down at the

big massive drop!

We’re gonna keep on riding at the

Hill Pony Club

You’re gonna keep on hashing down in Trail Cordonford

We’re gonna keep returning through the

Drift lane at Tor, back to the moor

 

Out takes:

Wow, thanks for people arriving early to get your little carriage ride done in daylight!

Sorry, to Manpig for extra time and mileage as he did the first ha ha totally alone! Oops!

Thank you for trying to rescue the lone fish in Simons lake, below Sharp Tor. It was deep and smelly, great stuff!

Charlie and Alfie ponies and the hares finally caught up below Mel Tor VP.

The darkness closed in as we climbed above Uppacott and returned OH. 

 

The down downs: The new landladies of the Tavistock Inn gave our odd bunch a warm welcome, including the pantomime horse, Lady Trotsalot of Postbridge, recent winner of the Christow show cross country. They provided some lovely sandwiches. 

 

1. First down down to Pyscho for wanting Beefy to carry her over the ford so she didn’t get her new trainers wet!

2. Next to Warmfront for running a Heller of a marathon at Haytor and beyond.

3. Rough as fugh for looking rough and being a returnee and dreading a down down! Gotta be done!

4. Next to the hare so AA was nominated by Pisswell, as she had been watching how difficult it was to drink out of a large horse bucket!

 

Thank you for coming such a long way in the dark and for lots of laughter.

On on to next week at the Tap house, Newton Abbot with Archangel.

Our prolific Hare – instructed the eager crowd, drew an arrow on the ground and we were off. the pack out the car park it won’t last, quickly followed by offspring. Before long we were heading up hill, managed a few checks, before breezed past me. ,and reappeared. Knackered I thought best leave this checking malarky to the youth. then shot past, the Longs, long gone.

I did manage the longs though in a breakaway all Harriet crew of , & . We called ‘Petrol’ to find it was & running side by side with head torches toward us. Tis the season of head torches now Folks!

led knowingly to the Ha Ha. led down a dark alley, where she got her torture out. (You had to be there)

Lovely, varied terrain, perfect weather, well marked, and swept by . No idea what happened on the Shorts or Walkers trails. But all were safely gathered in by 9pm so brownie points all round.

 

Down Downs

It went something like this... GP was relieved that was back safe and sound from her shenanigans on the Longs. remained intact and enquired about the Moorland adventures for next week. Mayhem then broke out... The hat and went to Laszlo. An almost customer of the Abbot (and my pub) whose birthday it happened to be. A hearty rendition of the in the wrong places followed before they left, as they were barred from the Abbot.

awarded the Guinness hat to Monica for her escapades on the Longs. This soon collapsed into a full blown naming. Arise !

Following on the same theme, it was Jo's turn. Well-deserved too! Sadly, Jo proved a bit too wily, or the group too indecisive?! So, after much pirate debate, she remains as until next time.

 

got a for his excellent trail. There was something about , AKA Casey Jones, as he arrived looking dapper in his footplate clobber. A rendition of the theme tune ensued. Somehow avoided the and PD ended up with it. Are we in 2027 now? To be fair to him, did anyone else notice that the glasses were a bit larger than normal? Mrs Murphy also popped up but I’m not sure how?!

 

A great evening was had by all!
