Richmond, VA Highland Games

[HeathBar]

It'd be great to meet you. Can you give me an idea on the layout of the games? If I can watch the athletic events from the tent, thats probably where I'll be most of the time.

[PaulX608]

I'll be there with the wife and daughter, maybe one of my sons, too, not sure about him yet.

[Mike50]

I will be there...I think it is a three hour drive from Baltimore. I will stop by and say hello.

I'll just chime in and say that if you go you have to see Albannach! They energy, sound, and driving beat have everybody in earshot dancing to their music. And they are a great bunch of people outside of their musical talents.

From my memory, the clan tents are arranged around the atheletic field.

Dang it you guys, I really want to go. Humm....I'll have to see. Its a little over 2 hours for me. Nice to meet some folks though.

Jerry, your memory is correct. Its right next to the Richmond Speedway.
I was there two years ago and they were running speed trails. Not to bad, but you could here the cars.

Hey guys, we just got back from Richmond, thought I'd share a few photos. First, I'll say that aside from the MUD and the WIND, we had a great day out. Drove 100 miles each way to get there, wasn't gonna let the elements get me down. On with the pics:

Had to get this one, should have done the Hamish pose in front.


Tossing the sheaf.

Throwing the heavy weight(56lbs. I think he said) for distance.


Pipers.

Tossing that bad boy.
