Brilliant story, @Jonny. It struck a chord and is still playing out in my mind. A well-deserved win.

 

[Jonny]

Thanks folks,

Reading @Emily 's poem, along with the prompt, triggered off a long distant memory about being with my own dad many years ago beside a beautiful fast-flowing wild river in Donegal (north-west coast of Ireland).

The foaming salmon leaps and falls of dark peaty water would every so often open out into large smooth mirrored pools where we would skim stones.

Nice one @Jonny , well done (a little late sending congrats - it's busy here).

 

[David Y]

Well done @Jonny.

FYI and for those with access to BBC's iPlayer there's a 30 minute programme about the World Stone Skimming Championships on this link:

BBC One - Our Lives, Series 4, Sink or Skim

Two obsessed stone skimmers show us what it takes to be the world's best.
