2 hours each way is a mission for me, especially when I have to get up early on a Sunday.

I'm looking at about 3 hours each way on the train from wolves, although il probably fall asleep and end up in manchester on the way home

Haha /shakes fist

I'm well known for the sickness, especially if I've had to drive for a while before. I'm fine up until that point where it goes from "oh man I feel sick" to being in some dream world shivering and sweating like a whore

Freefaller · 10 Jul 2009 at 12:39

hahaha - come and wipe the smile off my face then boyo

Seriously though if you can make it, it would be good to have you there.

Is anyone in Bristol area or the North West England/ North Wales going to be going? because I quite fancy coming to watch.

You should bike there

It will be a piece of cake after (after?) your ride around Europe

before. and it's 107 miles from Bristol! *I'm not paying to stay over

* may not be the only reason why I won't cycle

I'm willing to drive there, so is anyone around those areas going (I'm looking at you Morba

)

Nice

But if we're going to do keg tossing, everyone is going to have to duck because mine will be flying pretty low

Morba · 14 Jul 2009 at 23:09

ok, i wont be able to make this, im flying to edinburgh for the week on the 10th, so would rather spend the weekend with my boy (as im away for work i wont see him for near on a week).

Why don't you bring him with you?!

Come on dude - you need to be there!

PAz · 15 Jul 2009 at 08:43

Some of the events we've thought of so far;

- Van pull - timed over ~ 40 metres
- Van push - timed over ~ 40 metres
- Van pull with arms sat in tyre - time over 20 metres
- Keg clean and press - reps for 90 seconds
- Keg toss - throws over a height for 90 seconds
- Tyre flips - max flips in 90 seconds
- Farmers walk - timed over 100metres

Freefaller · 15 Jul 2009 at 08:57

I cant wait!!

So is it definitely the 8th? And can you provide an address, just drop me an email in trust or in the email found on the FAQ.

PAz · 15 Jul 2009 at 09:38

We'll do it on the corner of a school field where we usually train so it's probably easiest for us all to meet there:

Dunstable Road
Caddington
Bedfordshire
LU1 4BB

8th is good for me if theres enough interest etc. I'll send you my mobile number later on.

Jonny L · 15 Jul 2009 at 09:46

The 8th sounds brilliant

Andr3w · 15 Jul 2009 at 10:45

Don't forget to take a camera + cam corder

wijcc · 15 Jul 2009 at 12:22

This sounds interesting. I would love to be able to participate in this. I love watching strongmen contests on TV.. but i seriously doubt that I could physically do it.
This maybe a bit of a personal question but how big are you guys (in weight)?
