Yes, Loch Hartwell was a great time. I got to see the games for the first time and met some awesome people.



And here's a pic of my new friend rockin one of Alan's digital camo Renegade kilts:

It was a fun Hartwell games. It is layed back compared to most games and has a "small town country fair" atmosphere. I enjoy this one as much than other much bigger ones.

Nice to meet everyone. Sorry I disappeared. I was "helping" at the MacBubba/Caberdancer tent most of the day.

Also, the Rengade Kilts shirt looks even better in person than in the pics. Good job Alan.

For the ones who weren't there . . .
The "massed" pipe and drum comes over the rise and marches toward the field, nice usage of the farm's geography.

The games were a success if for no other reason than meeting all the friends from x-marks. I don't believe I have been to town that was more hospitible than in Hartwell. Everyone there was friendly and would bend over backward to lend you a hand. I want to thank everyone for stopping by my tent. I really enjoyed it. My son (Harry) had a good time also. It's not often that I get to spend time with him one on one since he has a family also. I am looking forward to next year at Hartwell. I hope to see more x-markers at the games at Stone Mountain in a couple of weeks. I will post some pictures of the games once I get them uploaded.

It looks like a good time was had by all. Turpin, thanks for posting the pictures. One of my co-workers is a piper in the Chattahoochee Pipe Band and played over the weekend at Loch Hartwell, he enjoyed seeing his picture on X-marks. They are the ones in the dark green shirts.

Of course, I had a great time describing the scene to him and dragging him over to my office to see his picture the first thing on monday morning. He was having a tough time figuring out how I got the pictures of the bands so fast.

Great pictures! I especially like the massed pipe bands coming over the hill top, it must have been quite stirring.

It was a good weekend for X Markers to gather.

Cheers

Hey Turpin! I really do apologise - somehow I missed this thread earlier. It certainly looks as if everyone had a good day together. You have some good photos there. The "Hamish Dip": I've not heard it called that before, but I like it (it sounds nicely 'choreographic' - perfect for the upcoming show 'Hamish, the Musical' ........ are you guys up for the auditions?!! )
