"How about forming a loose knit group to test these ideas?"

Rock and ROWll!!

Get HH'rs off their keyboards and organised!

Well done Gordon, it looks so simple and obvious, but ingeniously implemented, it would be amazing to put this theory to test in the field, as it were.

~o~

It won't be easy, but being a chippy I could soon knock up a mould for a 10 ton concrete stone. We'll need some sponsership though, the mold and the ready mix would cost £500 min. Six levers another £150 and if we decided to erect the stone as well as move it we'll need to lift it 7ft into the air, that'll take a fair lorry load of timber. Then we'll need somewhere to perform, might be able to do it at the tramway museum where I work. I'll leave you all to think about it.
Regards Gordon

I'm in, for a bit of manual labour & the chance to meet up with a few HHers.....would Pete G ( if he's lurking) know of any candidate stones local to Avebury where you could try without causing offence...great to prove the theory, then if wider (TV) acceptance, fantastic !
