NOT a wind up.
A friend is helping put together an 'Alternative Olympics' to counter the 2012 extravaganza to be held in London.
The Alternative will be in Llanwrtyd Wells, Powys, home of Bog Snorkelling, Mountainbike Bog Snorkelling, Man vs Horse, The Real Ale Wobble and various other events- see here: http://www.green-events.co.uk/
To help raise awareness of the event, to be held concurrently with London's version, a series of awareness raising activities are to be embarked upon, inc. a Mountainbike Chariot ride in Hyde Park and a bathtub kayak down the Severn Bore.
I've also suggested a concrete canoe event but this may be too mainstream for the ethos that they are promoting.
Any other ideas for suitable activities?
BTW, I'm not trolling, this is a genuine request for advice/ suggestions/ help.

I'm assuming there will be some kind of referee, who will be there to jump in and stop anyone getting hurt.

1. Stone throwing: ffs! How more closer to the Olympic dream do you need? Reckon its a gold and silver between N.Ireland and the Palestinians
2. Coracle racing
3. Caber tossing
