It was nice to see the stone lifted for the first time in years and a real effort by the others who failed to lift the stone this time.
Although The Stone only weighs 144 kilograms, it´s shape makes it difficult to lift.

The Stone
The stone weighs 144kg (317lbs). This photo was taken around 1980 and this was the only time I ever lifted the stone. The weight is not great, but the shape and balance of the stone requires some technique to lift.
If you visit Otradalur, you are welcome to test your strength on the stone.
