Annual event

Shed Pullers Competitions


Here in North Norfolk there is an annual event run by shed pullers from all over this country and beyond. This event last from Easter to mid to late September.
No one knows the full scope of their various competitive events but some of the more common ones are as follows:-

1) One of the most popular individual competitions is to find out the puller who can pull the biggest shed with the smallest car. Essentially this is an event which requires flat terrain hence its popularity in North Norfolk.
2) Running (1) a close second is the most unstable shed competition. You have to follow one of the more serious competitors to see for yourself the amount of diving and weaving a top puller can achieve.
3) A team competition this one how many sheds can arrive at one destination using only one map. This competition is not to be confused with-
4) This involves manoeuvring a number of shed pullers into formation with the sole intention of finding which team can cause the longest tailback. Truly monumental tailbacks can be achieved particularly if a team can find a stubborn tractor driver to aid their cause.

Roll on October.

Re: Annual event

I have to admit to being a shed puller myself Victors Mate, and we will probably be entering North Norfolk with it around mid May for a few days based at Sandringham..

I'll watch out for those dangerous shed pullers though, thanks for the warning...

Re: Annual event

Will probably see quite a few shed pullers on my way to Derbyshire tomorrow, especially when I get off the motorway. Am prepared for a longer journer, time-wise, than usual!!!!
