This is neither strongman or powerlifting, but is going to be a great day

Scotland has been having all the fun for far too long, holding highland games after highland games.

That stops here. Now is the time of the Moorland Games. Done the Yorkshire way with our very own tests of strength and courage, more beer and tea than you can shake a stick at and much much more!

On the 9th of August we will be holding the first ever Moorland Games, at Raven Hall (Ravenscar). This will be much more than just a test of athleticism and strength, this is a showcase.

Consisting of;
The heavy events.
A range of stalls purveying the best goods yorkshire has to offer.
Kids games.
Hot meaty food and cold beers.
An ab shattering eating challenge.
Live music.
And much much more.

Are you trying to say that strongman and powerlifting days are s**te? lol

What kind of meat is in the meaty food, and who are playing live?

August is a good month. Hope it's a great day.

That would be "This is neither strongman or powerlifting, SO is going to be a great day".

Ah lol

I think "This is neither strongman or powerlifting, but is still going to be a great day" may have made it clearer to me, but the great day bit is paramount.

Wonder what the heavy events are?

If you want to sumo the quarry carry, be my guest and I heard that the Yorkshire sun is more favorable than any gym changing room.

True it was watching videos of a Canadian one that made me want to put one in the first place. But you can't blame a guy for building some hype.
