Stone of Moon

Peter Mirfin, energetic landlord of the Wheatsheaf Inn, Fromes Hill, has introduced an unusual monthly fundraising race. Competitors, in teams of four, have to carry the self-styled 'Stone of Moon' against the clock between his pub and another - a round trip of nearly two and a half miles- Equipment involving wheels or pulleys cannot be used, and the stone must not be grounded during a run.

The weight of the stone is described as being 'enough' and the two landlords' decisions are final - although bribes in aid of the RNLI are gratefully received!.
