  • The wife to be carried may be your own, or the neighbour's, or you may have found her further afield; the wife must, however, be over 17 years of age.

  • The wife is a gender free term that is used over the carried person (Gender rule changed in February 2023)

  • The minimum weight of the wife to be carried is 49 kilograms (108 lb). If she weighs less than 49 kg, she will be burdened with a rucksack containing additional weight to bring the total load to be carried up to 49 kg.

  • All participants must enjoy themselves.

  • The only equipment allowed is a belt worn by the carrier and a helmet worn by the carried.
