Stone Skimming Trip Report

Part of the fun of these sports and events is getting there. The adventure that surrounds traveling to somewhere new. Along the way to the 2018 World Stone Skimming Championships on Easdale Island, Scotland I got to experience a bit of the Isle of Man, spent some time in Edinburgh and had a blast at the Championship.

At the Champs I got to talk to Colin a local resident, caught up with Paul Bunney - a friend I made last year, and chatted briefly with Keisuke Hashimoto!

A cow in a cool old village, Isle of Man. Earlier I saw a cow that looked like David Letterman. This wasn’t him.

At my favorite pub, Drover’s Inn. Note sword and shield.

“Diagon Aleey”, Edinburgh

I love Edinburgh.

Easdale Island Slate. How many perfect stones do you see?
