Imagine if you will “The World Strongest Man” event that occurs every year around Chrimstmas and New Year.  Now take away the sunshine, the warmth,  the technology and give the contestents kilts.  The result is the Highland Games, a set of strength/power tests based in Scotland that go back hundreds of years.  If it sounds your type of thing then you can not watch it on TV, channel 4 are covering an event called The Highlander Challenge every Sunday morning at 7:55 (This is why they invented Sky+).

Whilst I suppose most people have heard of the caber toss some of the other events are far more entertaining.  I noticed that some have even managed to find their way into The Worlds Strngest Man.  So if you’re up early on a Sunday and there’s more to your life than Match Of the Day then you could do much worse than tuning into Channel 4 and giving The Highlander Challenge a go.  By the way the female presenter is very very hot.
