Aberdeenshire folks, Ythan raft race!

[Mince Pie]

Watching You Been Framed and I just saw a clip from the Ythan raft race! I was wondering if it was still going? I used to love going to watch

I used to go and watch it too, always wanted to join in. No idea if its still on...interested to find out. We could enter a HH raft! Lol

 

[Mince Pie]

I always wanted to do it, until I felt how cold the Ythan is!

 

[Skipadeedooda]

Hmm that is true, we could get wet/dry suits or just not fall in...then again a nice cosy pub is slightly more appealing ;-)

Nothing is warm up here. Ever.

They stopped it a good few years back now because of health and safety. Substituted for the sitting in a room doing nothing but being wrapped up in cotton wool race, which actually isn't a race because competitive sport is also banned as everyone is equal and no one should have to experience losing...

There's always the cairtie races if you're feeling suicidal )))

Best event of the whole year is the Sheltie Stakes!!
