1. 14 of us, sat quietly at hotel dinner table in Morzine, indulging in intellectual discourse. You know the sort of thing – "Snowslave, read any interesting reviews of Kafka recently, wot wot"? "No I haven't Binners, got any good colouring books I could borrow?", etc etc…

2. Hotel owner wheels in goat on casters.

3. About 50 french OAPs who are also in the dining room start singing and chanting like footie hooligans.

4. One of them is dragged under the goat and made to lie on his back, and gets a milky (but it is NOT milk) substance fired in his face.

5. This is repeated for a while. We look on with mild amused expressions. Fer ****'s sake, we're trying to have a civilised conversation here. They're actually singing and it's just like that bit at the end of Zulu before the final battle. We have no response to this, so carry on with our pot noodles.

6. Then they turn on us……

Just wondering, like, has anyone else had this experience?

😯

Anymore pics of ladies in bars please 😀

Have any French Prostitutes disapeared since Binners has been there?

Did you find those routes?

Was it a real goat or a model one? 😯

It was life size, stuffed, with casters on the bottom of it's feet

OK, Wasn't sure if it was a real one on roller skates 😉

EDIT

Which would have been much more scary 😯

I must say, I think "goat castors" ranks up there as one of the oddest phrases I've ever googled.

sounds awesome why weren't you boys lined up on the floor?

we were. They made us do it….

Lucky it wasn't a Hippo mounted on a pallet truck…..

I've just got back from my therapists due to the trauma caused by the whole 'goat on castors' experience.

I've sat and cried for 2 hours. He did his best but thinks that in reality I'm beyond help

Buy your own to repeat the fun at your local eatery

Please don't tell me how it got minor wear, but they want $500 for it.

It was actually more frightening than the first days vertical black run into Les Gets

Why are you tapping away on your expensive phones?

You should be OUT THERE in the hills.

Have you done that singletrack yet? – from Mont Cheri – rather than go down the downhill run, follow it for 100m's or so then veer to your right keeping your height.

Like this?

(hope the pic works for everyone)

So what was in its udders?

Its a bloody good job I had no dignity to begin with

Just so we're clear, is this a girl goat or a boy goat?

Does it have a velvet-padded slot at the rear?

Not so sure about that Hora. Here's a front view:

I think it's just a bog standard mountain goat, stuffed and on wheels. Now I'm sure I got some other phtotos somewhere

Ah Goat town, freaked me out just riding through it very smelly, being Welsh I find that kind of activity with cloven hooved beasts thoroughly acceptable

it's kinda difficult to make out exactly what was inside it

Hes a baby-hes a baby!

I'm so glad i seemed to have escaped most of the goat pictures!

Can you tell what it is yet?

it's wrong, that's what it is!
I always thought there was something sinister about Goat Village

Its not just me then who finds it abit disturbing

Disgusting! What did you say the name of the hotel was?

they didn't even pick a pretty goat!

Ah, hang on…

Les Lindarets? Now it all makes sense.

NOT Lindaret – the goats are alive there ffs! This was in Morzine.

Goats are disturbing at the best of times, a goat on wheels is the stuff of nightmares…

Where was the vertical black run into Les Gets? Spent a morning there on Sunday and thought found most things. (Not that I would have wanted to go down a vertical run!) The rooty descent that peeled off left into the trees halfway down the main run was scary enough to have me pushing / stumbling / scrabbling down!

Bear. The black was from the other side of the valley to Morzine. It was truly terrifying. Think that might be the one your describing Bear. Did it work its way down to near vertical corksrew berms? With a massive drop half way down?

Ah, think I did that one. Loads of orange pads on trees, a bit newer that the other trails as less braking bumps i thought.

this thread is useless without Cinammon Girl 😯

Can we have some riding pic's please!

Can we have some riding pic's please

Riding the goat?

Riding? In Morzine??? Shurely shome mishtake. We was on holiday innit
