World Stone Skimming Championships

Scots have swept the board at the World Stone Skimming Championships which took place on the tiny island of Easdale, in the Inner Hebrides.

The venue for the sport, known as skiting, is said to have lots of beaches perfect for practising.

The stones must be slate and no greater than 3in in diameter.

Competitors range in age from 18-months to 80-years-old and the current record skim is 65m. A throw is judged on distance rather than number of bounces. - BBC

If only had known this was a sport, I would have over in dreary old Scotland to grab myself the coveted World Stone Skimming Championship Trophy. Every worthy competitor that has crossed The Wezzo's Stone Skipping path has felt his wrath - G Man, Matty, Duzi, G Man I'm talking to you chumps. All I can say lads is - if it hurts its healing.
