Still it managed a few strongman.
Two granite stone with inserted rings used in the past as a counterweight for scaffolding during the repair of the bridge on the river Dee in Scotland. In 1860, the famous strong man Donald Deanie picked up two of the boulder and walked with them a distance slightly more than 5 meters, than set a record.
Then attempt to repeat the feat Deanie began in Scotland something of a national joke. As of August 2018 to raise the boulders are 90 men and two women, including Lee Holland-keen. To carry the stones as much as Deanie, managed only six.
It was a fantastic, very emotional experience. I hope that other women can look at me and say: “I, too, can try”.Lee Holland-Keen
