Thanks to,you both. I started with Jim's sledgehammer and decided to picture Donald Trump as I brought it down on the rock in question. Brute force worked well in this instance.

If it's too big for Jim's sledgehammer, I have a set of plugs-and-feathers that will split the rock into manageable chunks. The subtle approach rather than just brute force! 811414 if you think they would be a good idea.

Brilliant! Thanks. And only 100 yards to carry it! I'll phone you in the morning...

I've got a sledgehammer & mattock with a pickaxe edge if that's any good? Jim

I have one large rock in the garden that is too big to lift, so I need to break it into 2 or 3 pieces. Can anyone lend me a pickaxe or anything else that will break it?
