Tartan Day at Ardenwood (Nor Cal)

[Alan H]

Well, Tartan Day at Ardenwood was a good alternative to going down to Palm Springs to see Hamish and the assembled multitudes, so we made the best of it. I contacted the organizers and arranged to do a Heavy Athletics demonstration, which was a huge hit. We had Weight over the Bar, all the stones, the light weight for distance, and I brought along my dinky caber, which I can sort of get int he back of the truck...sort of. Anyway, all the kit got to the park, and here are some pics...

From left to right.... Bunchdescendents brother and wife (girlfriend?), Farlander from X Marks, some dumb tired guy in a hat, the wonderful Chris (Bunchdescendents wife), Bunchdescendent Himself, the Little Celtic Dancer (aka (Bunchdescent daughter) and a nice guy in Black Watch and I have no idea who he was!



These next pictures prove beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the way to attract the lasses is not to have a kilt, but rather to have a 12-foot long, 65 pound chunk of Douglas Fir!
