In what is one of the ultimate tests of strength and resilience, Kessingland's annual tug-of-war festival is set to return this weekend.
The event - now in its 38th year - is run by area five of the Tug of War Association, which covers Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Bedfordshire and Lincolnshire.
On Saturday, October 7 and Sunday 8, teams consisting of eight competitors will convene at Park Resorts Holiday Park to pull in four different weight categories, with the maximum being 720kg.
The Kessingland weekender is the penultimate contest of the outdoor tug-of-war season, before the indoor season gets under way later this month.
David Ling, chairman of the area five group, said: 'We look forward to this event every year because it's a really nice get-together.
'It's an opportunity to meet new people and have a really fun day.'
