Well, you probably should be if you were going to take part in the Stonehaven Carties Annual Race Event. We went along last weekend to watch the thrills and spills at Mineralwell Park and enjoyed the sight of a bunch of idiots hurtling down the slope. Unfortunately one of the contestants was injured as described here which is giving me second thoughts about entering at some point in the future, although the blogging opportunities (the build, the events, "cartie-cam") may keep the dream alive. And then of course, there's the chance to take part in such fantastic surroundings as Catterline and Monymusk.
I took a few photos (below) but search for "stonehaven carties" on youtube for some decent videos from last year's event.

How fun! But. . . yeah . . . um. Ow.
Noce pictures, and glad you enjoyed yourself. You have a picture of me in there - that's me driving the second cartie.
Hope you weren't too SCAREd by the whole thing - carties are far too much fun to let a little fear get in the way :-) !
Cartie-cam could be the next big youtube hit. I say go for it.
Ah the nostalgia, the hunt along the shore for fish crates. Stealing prams from pensioners to get the wheels (small on the front, big on the back!)
Looking forward to cartiecam, go for it!
