Yes, The Peerie Neep has been and gone and a great day was had by all.

Our other Trondra correspondent should shortly be posting some photos taken by our visiting blogger and photographer Ruthodanort. She seems to get everywhere! Available to photograph your events at reasonable rates.

The 'sporting' nature of the day commenced with that now (after saturday) traditional Trondra event of Toss the Neep. Competititors ages from about 5 and up and vast distances were naturally achieved.

The bungee neep run required a large degree of determination and, lets not be coy about this, weight, to establish the winners.

This was followed by the customised wheelbarrow competition. Otherwise known as 'Pimp my wheelbarrow'. With no apologies to MTV. Space age special effects. Wheelbarrows then raced. Far more exciting than Formula 1.

Plenty of drink and food consumed over an otherwise leisurely afternoon and evening. All sitting outside in a circle yarning, drinking and watching the sun go down. Perfect. And then competition kicked off again at 9pm with a fiercely contested series of Tugs of war. Or should that be Tug of wars? We all worked up an appetite for the final battle of the day - the tattie bake bake-off. Competitors nervously lined up before the judges pronounced. I think some of the smiles and congratulations from the losers were a little forced. The winter months clearly will be spent perfecting recipes before next years event.

Next year - Oh yes. But even bigger and better. Start clearing your diaries.

A relaxing couple of hours winding down after supper - raffle, drinks etc etc.

Conclusion - perfect weather, perfect day.
