The "Skills of the Hills" Annual Hedge Event

The annual "Skills of the Hills" event has been taking place in one form or another since 1997. There have been interruptions and postponements due to weather and outbreaks of foot and mouth disease but, by and large, it has managed to happen almost annually.

This map shows the locations of all the events since they started in 1997.

The history page chronicles the origins and very early days of the event.
