It was a great setting at Crathes Castle for NOV Grant Prideco's Mini Highland Games afternoon as the sun was shining and everyone proved to be in high spirits.

The afternoon of Team Building started off with a bang as teams got straight into Welly Fling where Braveheart's Brett came out on top with a distance that made the other's pale into insignificance to take  1000 points for his team. Toss the Caber came next where accuracy was the name of the game and le capitanno from Glenfiddich roled up his sleeves and pulled out an epic toss.

Moving onto Hay you Jimmy the teams looked nervous at the mere thought of running 40 metres but after the warm up session they came into their own and much to the teams' disbelief the Bravehearts pulled it out of the bag again. Next up was Axe Throwing and Fly Casting where Valentino rose up like a salmon to take the points.

The Team Building classic Haggis Hurling was up next and after a brief tutorial haggis' filled the air. Finally, after a quick Red Bull stop Steve stepped up to the plate and managed to bring it home for his team with a magnificent 1 minute 13 seconds on Stone Lift. His muscles must be aching today!

Over at the Tug O' War Finale the Glenfiddichs won 4 out of the 5 bouts and did themselves proud. However, even this phenomenal performance wasn't quite enough to see them lift that elusive trophy and instead they took home the Wooden Spoon. It was the Bravehearts that were the deserving winners of the Team Building Team Challenge Company Winner's Trophy.

Shout out goes to Karen for all her hard work in putting together the afternoon of Team Building for the teams enjoyment. Let's just hope the Glenfiddichs can get some more practise in now before the rematch!
