Boomtown Fair 2012: photos and features

Sack races, hula hoops and wet wrestling
Matterley Estate, nr. Winchester, Hampshire, UK [map], 9th-12th Aug 2012

On the Sunday, a collection of rather curious games took place on a site behind the main time. I went along to grab a few photos.



I'm not sure how these three were persuaded to stand at the top of a hill with sacks on their heads and then roll down at speed, but they seemed up for it.



One of the contestants arrives at the bottom of the hill with a bump.



The winner!



Mass skipping competition.



Tug o'war.







A devilishly handsome young couple relax while watching the games.



Hula hoop challenge.









A couple get distracted.





Some sort of wrestling in red goo.
