Hi Nigel Swift
Glad you liked my site, I think 900 yards a day would be easy enough. maybe more with practise.

Hi Gordon! Glad you made it. Thank heaven's no-one slagged you off!

900 yards in a day - how many people do you calculate that would be?

I've just got around to reading your site. Very interesting and very plausible. Nice one.

A question: Is your 900 yards based on one team doing a days work or just the distance covered by one 'step' multiplied up? i.e. if there was a shift system with untired people could they go further?

Another question: (only just thought of this one) could this method move a large basket of cairn rubble faster than a whole wodge of people carrying lots of small baskets?
