Ahead of this summer’s proposed trip up to lift the historical Scottish Dinnie Stones, SSG & Friends are planning a trip up to the much closer Peak District Dinnie Stones situated at Matlock Farm Park, Derbyshire.
These near replicas weigh a monsterous 189kg and 163kg respectively making them 352kg in total and 20kg heavier than the famous Scottish stones; an ideal warm up gig! These stones aren’t for the faint hearted with less people managing to lift the real Dinnies unassisted than have summitted Mt Everest without oxygen! A true hall of fame worth joining for any classic strongman and strength enthusiast.
These stones can be lifted straddled or side by side along with use of straps if desired due to the weight (Bear in mind the real Dinnies are strapless only). The pick-up is also slightly higher despite having almost identical oval ring handles.
If anyone interested in giving these a go, feel free to drop either the page a message or comment below and I’ll drop you a message regarding the park’s requirements for lifters. Once we have an idea of numbers I’ll relay it back to the park. Please be advised there are only a limited number of spaces for lifters and all lifters must be pre-registered with the park prior to any attempts.
For all those not interested in lifting, all others are invited as spectators and supporters for what should be a great day out featuring some cool classic feats of strength. Just make sure you all bring your cameras to take plenty of cool photos!
