World record attempt at tossing cabers
A WORLD record attempt is to be made later this year for the largest number of athletes successfully tossing a caber at the same time.
Appropriately, the bid is to be made in Scotland later this year at the Masters World Championships Highland Games being hosted in Inverness.
The heavy athletes taking part hope to successfully toss 150 cabers at the same time, to mark the 150th anniversary of the Northern Meeting Park the oldest Highland Games venue in the world where the games are being hosted...
...The caber, a long wooden pole similar to a telephone pole, is normally is about 18 feet long, and nine inches thick.
