66 cabers for a new Guiness Book record

In Bressuire, France everybody knows we can multiply the cabers. 

Just because our photographers from the local photo-club are very talented!

But now, thanks to David GARMAN and the Austrian Highland Games Facebook page, we now know the caber has turned a new page on the Guiness Book.

A new world record

66 cabers have just been turned simultaneaously in Inverness.

This breaks the former record of 52 set in Canada some time ago.

Thanks BBC News for this coverage the blog is proud to post.

New caber tossing world record set in Inverness (BBC News)

A new world record for the most people simultaneously tossing a caber was set in Inverness at the weekend.

Two hundred cabers were made in preparation for the event.

The bid was made during the Masters World Championships in the city's Bught Park.

Dubbed the Tomatin Toss, the games' competitors sought to break a record set in Canada where 52 cabers were tossed at the Fergus Ontario Highland Games.

The competitors at Inverness successfully tossed 66 cabers.

Jack Brockbank, far right, from the Guinness World Records confirmed the new record.
