Granton on Spey is a super little town, very picturesque indeed. I had a fab day with my family at the Highland Games that were held in a field there last Sunday. It was so refreshing to see no yellow jacketed health and safety types wandering around - these Highlanders have got it sussed I have to say. Just a load of big blokes hurling large lumps of iron and wood about.
I managed to blag "infield" access so got in close as much as possible. Most of these are with a 1d mark III and a Sigma 100-300 F4.
#1 Hammer throwing
#2 Hammer throwing with a bigger bloke (who won)
#3 Distance measuring - these gents stood perfectly still as the hurled implements landed inches from them.
#4 Gaaagghhhh!
#5 Heeeeuuuurrrgghhh!!
#6 Caber tossing. F-heavy - basically a telegraph pole.
#7 Finish line for the runners
#8 Men in kilts
#9 Shot putt shot with 17-40 pre-focused and held on the ground. Looks a bit like ballet I reckon.
Great entertainment, lots of energy and a fun change from polo.
