Waipu Highland Games 2011
A fantastic summer day for this year’s games in the Caledonian Park. Thousands turned up to enjoy the day out. I spent a happy day watching the Fiddling Competition and the Tartan in the Park, only sneaking out to watch the massed pipe bands and highland fling and buy a scottish pie. This year there was shade for the fiddling competition watchers which was great.
