This will be my last post about the Scottish Festival that my wife and I went to over the past weekend. It was really a cool experience to finally go to it and we had a great time.
In my previous post, I shared some pictures of the men competing against each other, but now it is time to share some of the women competing in the Caber Toss. While I was there, the women were only competing in this event, but I am sure they competed in the other games that the men competed in because while we were there, we didn't see any men competing in the caber toss.
The caber toss is a pretty cool event where people have to carry a wooden beam that is around 16-20 feet long and weighs between 90 and 150 pounds. The person has to toss the beam and make it land end over end and try to get it to land in the 12 o clock position. Basically you want the pole to flip over one end and try to land perfectly in line with you and not be angled.
These women were beasts and were tossing that thing pretty high in the air so that it would have enough height to flip over. I wish that they had a spot where people could try this game because I wonder if I would be any good at it. I doubt that I would be able to compete against these women that have been doing it for years, but it would be fun to give it a try.
I hope that you enjoyed the pictures that I got during the festival. My wife and I are going to be keeping our eyes open for any other cool events happening this summer. It was great to get out of the house for a while.
