Having been before, the 'pre-skim party' usually has good music and all efforts are made to drink the place dry.
That said, it is a giggle of a day out for all the family, with competitors of all ages taking part.
I plan on being there, maybe you will too. I might ride there in fact.

Indian* National Stone Skimming Champion

*by birth, no-one tell them I don't hold an Indian passport.
**don't tell anyone I am the only Indian by birth/nationality to have taken part.
***no-one asked for evidence. This may or may not be of use if you fancy being the Djibouti National Champion in 2022.
Hmm, might be a nice weekend away that time of year.
Based on my Mali family heritage, I’ll match and raise your Djibouti to Timbuktu 🤣
I'm sure I watched a youtube on this and they said it was getting harder to judge a winner as the top "athletes" could hit the cliff wall on the opposite side of the quarry so no-one couldn't throw it any further than anyone else.
That sounds fun! Can I bring MArk Rober to help?
@dovebiker - STW easdale ride out on Saturday, Sunday stone skim?

I quite fancy that - would involve bringing the campervan over from Mull for the weekend though so will need to firm-up arrangement nearer the time / book ferry etc. I remember my first trip to Easdale about 1980 - definitely needs a revisit.
the winner will be decided in a cumulative, 3-skim ‘Toss-Off’
You just going for the tie beaker 😲
Aye, they also have an "old tosser" category....
Even more amusing are local jokes around anyone from Luing - it's treated as a separate country with endless reverence and p*ss taking in equal measure.
If anyone can't make this I can recommend the Egg Throwing World Championships at Swaton. Lincolnshire in July.
I can't match Matt's level though, I'm barely into the world's top-10 at the eggs
I think it's a grand entry for a 'One Day 'list and an STW rideout sounds ace.
I have tried to go for years but something has always got in the way.
Not in the running for Champion skimmer as I had to hand over my (family)title to Son2 last summer (18 skims),could be well up in the 'old tosser' comp though 🤣🙃
