Ardenwood Stones

[Alan H]

I'm the AD for a small Games for Tartan Day at Ardenwood park, here in nor Cal. This year we were going to be putting on an even with the NAHA guys, but they pulled out. However, some of my guys were pretty excited to be doing some Strongman stuff, so I decided to make a Farmers Walk event with natural stones. This is done at Loon Mountain and a number of events in Scotland. Of course, this hearkens back to Donald Dinnie and the Dinnie stones.

Anyway, here they are. Meet the Ardenwood Stones, about 305-310 pounds of granite and another 5-10 pounds of steel.



I have a picture of me, holding them but I don't have a kilt on so you'll just have to wait for video from the Games....
