Last of the Summer Wine Ride - with video

[EstherYoung]

We had a fantastic time at the LOTSW ride - the cherry on the top being a Grade One and H qualifying for his 1000 mile (1600 km) award

I've put a little video together giving a taster of what it was like:

What fantastic riding country! I feel a bit dizzy after watching you canter though!

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Wow! What wonderful scenery. Could almost see Compo, Cleggy and the others hanging over the walls

 

[Happytohack]

Loved it - great scenery. What was Scene of Doom all about

 

[Ellies_mum2]

I wondered about the Scene of Doom too

But then with Ellie it probably would be as she hates getting her feet wet

Glad you enjoyed yourself, very nice seeing home on a video. The weather sounds true to form too!

The scene of doom was a pile up in the ford as some ponies panicked and bolted through - only there wasn't enough room for them to get out the other side at the same time. They were OK though. If the camera hadn't filled its card up a few minutes earlier I could have got £250...

It really was a fantastic ride, even if I did end up with soggy knickers.

Anyone going to do Longdendale charity ride?

Do tell! what hapened at the scene of Doom???????????????
I've emailed this vid to my mate Mo, she ,and me, NED to know what happened.
And whoes the Thunderbird person on the bay? is it Esther or Kerry??????????????????

 

[EstherYoung]

I'm the one on the bay - that's Harry. And Kezza (Shanahan) is the one on the grey (Spud) wearing the camera.

The ford was a scene of carnage - ended up with two people under three ponies and many soggy knickers, and could have been nasty. But luckily everyone was OK and they all finished the ride.
