I thought that guy made it look pretty easy given he looked like any Joe public :shock: hell of a lot stronger than he looks.

That 120 of mine is a big boulder, I`ll measure around it so you can compare to some measurements Al got of the Inver stone.

Smaller than an Atlas stone, but then it all dpends on the length of your arms! Conrad has the Snook genes in him. Don't be deceived by his (apparent) slight build.

the 110kg atlas cookie has is far tougher to get a grip on, theres no way i could interlock hands could almost touch fingers, just!

Around the "equator": 149cm/59" (Taken horizontally through the "265" inscription)
Around the "poles": 135cm to 140cm/53" to 55" (At right angles to the previous measurement. I took a couple of readings at different positions as the stone is not perfectly round)



interesting all the pictures of inver stones and it looks less difficult round the middle than the atlas stones
