I'd just like to wish the best of luck to all those people taking part in the great stonehengineering project this weekend in Derbyshire.

Here's something of what they're going to attempt:

I SOOOOO wish I could be joining you to witness this AMAZING event, but my exhibition of paintings happens this (and next) weekend, in case you want to come :-)

Be VERY careful, mind your backs and take lots of photos please guys!
lots of love and luck

And so say all of us: I hope that the good wishes & thoughts of those of us compromised by date and distance add fuel to the straining muscles just when they need it most.

Good Luck also to you Jane. I enjoy your work, and hope to one day see it in its non-pixelated glory. One day, when I've got a "proper" job and stashed some filthy lucre aside....

Peace and my good wishes to you all

yes good luck! and try not to get squashed. It looks very exciting. I'm sure you will be working by my rule of trying to expend the least amount of energy possible for maximum effect.

Personally I don't think they need luck - this is a sure fire winner in my book. But good luck anyway, wish I could be there but I'll be out in the streets campaigning for Thornborough. Again.

Well my plans to wield a tree trunk and make history have been scuppered for the moment, but i'd like to take the opportunity to wish Gordon the Gaffer all power to him and the rest of the team. Looking forward to Stage II.

and can i just say stonehengineers have massive erections that last for ages ? and we have no trouble getting it up! :-)
(sorry - Betty Croley put me up to it!)

Beedin' 'ek, I'd forgotten about that! Couple of questions, Is there any kind of accommodation/campsite/field nearby and can we just turn up unannounced?

Sunburnt, aching bones and too much to take in and post at the moment. Got to get head together.

One ot two posts to follow I suspect :)

Wow.
