This is a bit beyond me but I’m going to be away today so I thought I’d post one thought – if a way can be found to do both, i.e. levering from the back and using Steve’s pole at the front, that would be all to the good as Steve’s pole could be reduced to more manageable proportions and by using both, we may have an excess of available power, which we may find useful if there’s an unforeseen snag. And “All together” feels like a more authentic approach as well.

So far as Gordon’s wish to keep much the same equipment as was used in stone rowing, well the only extras would be the net (which would have been available to them) and Steve’s pole which we know they definitely had, lots of them. There'll still be a lot of pure rowing in the process - the stone and the log and maybe the lintel. Also, Gordon, is it practicable/useful to row the stone to make it "walk the plank"?
