Hi Nigel
I've been talking to Wally via email, seems a nice guy, he's had the same problems getting anyone to listen and not a cent of funding either.
I suggested we try to get TV interested in a "stone shifting challange" Britain vs. America, what do you reckon?
Steve would certainly be interested in his ideas on pyramid building. He uses the corner of the pyramid as a pivot point to raise the stones.
Meanwhile I'm busy trying to rent a field (preferably with a good steep slope on it) for the 10 ton experiment.

He's not the only one in America that would like to enter a competition, as you know, though the others are far less efficient than him. In fact if there was a worldwide challenge I've seen quite a few who'd be keen. It would have to be held in The Home of Megaliths though, it just wouldn't be the same anywhere else. But I'm prepared to bet anyone 50p here and now that you'd win with stone rowing as you can't improve on perfect efficiency. Maybe you'd be safe to bet your house against his....
