The Story of Stonehaven 2006 On Sunday 21st May another chapter was written in the history books of Halkirk TOW. A convoy of cars left Halkirk at 6.30am to head to the East Coast. With some members feeling more bleary eyed than others. Names will not be mentioned although an overdose of Sweetheart Stout at a Stag night on the Saturday would seem the most likely reason one puller could not finish his lunch. The king-size sausage roll was quickly dispersed amongst the younger lads. Surprisingly enough no speeding tickets were received on this foray south and no-one got lost although there was definitely some rubber being burnt at the roundabouts..... One shock for the lads was the emergence of a dilapidated castle close to the area which was not there last year! A definite accessory to be carried to all TOW events in future will be a pliers and spanner to ensure no members get trapped in a cubicle again..... However the pulling went well with two wins out of two for the senior lads and a valiant effort by the young lads who no doubt gave Kinneff a wee scare. Then it was back up the A90, A96 and A9 to return home at 11.30pm, not long till Stirling.
