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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
