Re: Stone Rowing: remember that?

"Eg. the 4 logs.
"Do we drag them, and if so, how long will they stand up to it?"

No, we get them delivered by lorry. After that we pick them up and carry them from the back to the front of the stone each time it has moved by a full log's length. If we are moving a 10 ton stone there will be at least 10 of us to carry the logs.

"Should they be a bit flattened?"

I can't see that flattening would serve any useful purpose.

"Should they be a bit angled at front and/or rear?"

No, the stone should never slide over the logs, it gets picked up and put down again a bit further forward.

"How do we fix the rope? Drill them?"

Which rope would that be? You're not thinking about the "rollocks" suggestion are you?
