Scotland didn’t just show up, it showed out. From jaw-dropping views to legendary banter, and a few surprises along the way, Hopetoun Estate proved the perfect backdrop for our wildest, most gallus event yet. Here’s the lowdown on the top 4 moments that made it unforgettable.
1. Terrain That Took Your Breath Away (and Maybe a Bit More)
If you thought Scotland was all about rain and midges, think again. The Hopetoun Estate served up a rollercoaster of terrain, from sweeping views of the estate itself to glimpses of the iconic Forth Bridge in the distance. Just when you thought you’d got used to the ground underfoot, surprise elevations popped up to remind you who’s boss. And those water crossings? Arctic enough to have you questioning life choices, but absolutely brilliant for the bragging rights.
2. Scottish Banter, Proper Style
What’s an event without a bit of banter? The Scots brought their A-game, with witty one-liners and cheeky smiles that kept spirits high even when the weather wasn’t playing nice. Whether you were swapping tales in the car park queue or cheering on your mates mid-obstacle, the camaraderie was pure gold.
3. Partners Bringing the Good Stuff
No great day is complete without great fuel. Our partners brought their A-game to keep everyone topped up and ready to tackle whatever came next:
- Gin and Juice delighted taste buds with their refreshing melon gin concoction — perfect for post-event celebrations.
- Grenade kept energy levels high with a variety of protein bars that made refuelling downright tasty.
- Prime Time served up their “beer but better” lager and IPA — because you deserve a proper pint after all that hard work.
- Plus, Actiph, Wild West Jerky, and Emerge kept the snacks and energy flowing throughout the day.
Oh, and did you get your hands on the new medal? It’s a stunner – a perfect addition to your collection and a proper badge of honour from Scotland’s wildest weekend.
