Cobourg Highland Games

[Nathan]

The Cobourg Highland Games were held this weekend. It was a lovely day at Victoria Park on the shores of Lake Ontario. I actually snapped a fair amount of photos but I neglected to take a shot with xmarks' own Crash who also attended with his lovely wife. I went looking for him with my camera after I remembered, but didn't track him down. Here are some of the shots I did take.

Jim McDonald and I at the Clan Donald tent. Apologies that my tie was sticking out of my jacket. The tent is new, so we're moving up in the world.







Just Jim...





The rest of these are just shots I took when I was lucky enough to wander from the tent...

What a gorgeous day for the Games! Victoria Park is lovely. I especially like the Heavy Athletics being done on the beach with the lake in the background. And, nice tent.

It was a gorgeous day. Clan Donald's latest member just emailed me a dropbox full of photos he took at the event and they are quite good. I've asked him if I can share the ones of our Clan Donald reps and am waiting to hear back.

The heavy events on the beach were quite nice to watch but the athletes, who are more used to grass, had to adjust their technique for sand. I think they used something called a toe board and didn't wear their spikes...

Great pictures Nathan. Cobourg games really is a lot of fun and the photos show that well. This was our second time there but I hope it will be on our schedule every year for the forseeable future.
