Well partook of this yesterday, and scored with two out of my three "tosses". Did not get near winning, but what a great experience, amazing location and fantastically friendy people.
Will be back next year!!

How many hops for the winner? I have once (and only once) managed 14. By the end, the stone seemed to be intent on setting sail across the pond.0 -
How do you count 14 hops? By the time I get towards 10, the hops are so short/fast that it's all but impossible to count individual bounces...Pannier, 120rpm.0

Nice to see a Scottish hosted event won by an Englishman.....0

Two things.
I have good eyes.
And I am good at counting above 10.
Well, he still only needs two hands to count to 14....Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)
