BBC Scotland tonight, just before 7

[rhino]

I know I've been a totally rubbish hhoer recently, but if anyone spots a Scottish lass doing daft things involving a pony and a spear on Reporting Scotland tonight, then that's me!

Its an historic sport called 'tilting at the ring' and it's seriously fun. And frustrating.

Will watch with interest........!

BBC Scotland doesn't feature on the telly, here!

Any chance of someone bagging and posting it?

Alec.

You should be able to watch it on iPlayer Alec, I think you can set it to different regions. Hope I can catch it later as I'm taking part in a tilting demonstration when it will be on!

Is it anything like this?

 

[blood_magik]

Got it set to record.

 

[rhino]

Yes, but the rings are rather a lot smaller!

 

[fburton]

Wow, impressive! I'll try and catch the broadcast.

Using the biggest rings tonight, 24mm hole, but the competition rings go down to 5mm! Have got some pics at home

... but the competition rings go down to 5mm!

OMG, that's the size of my nostrils!

 

[Cortez]

I have seen some show offs do it with polo mints, and pins on the end of their lances.......

 

[MotherOfChickens]

that looked liked fun-well done

Managed to fall off at the demo! Not good when I'm nursing cracked ribs and sternum from a fall last week. Hopefully will be available on iPlayer when I get home

Do you do the tilting along side Jan Simpson? I know she talks of going tilting.

 

[rhino]

Yes. Her chilli boy is fab at it

That's fab, looks like fun and massively frustrating in equal measures, I'd be rubbish at it!

 

[lornaA]

Chilli is a beautiful boy. I had a beautiful foal by him. I will need to try and download this on I player as I didn't see this post till too late!

 

[fburton]

How cool is that?!
