"If you had enough of them you could "practically row it along". Hhhmmmm .... that sounds familiar!"

I nearly fell off my chair when he said that! Bet Gordon Pipes did too.
It was Gordon's idea but discussed, refined and (I think) NAMED here.

Ideas from Derbyshire carpenters, further developed and named on amateur websites don't usually get taken seriously but it looks like it has happened. To be fair to Mike Pitts he has always been sympathetic to the idea. I hope when he writes it up he acknowledges the sources. He might mention that Stukeley proposed moving the stones using "leavers in the nature of a galley oars" but he was unaware of that until June 2005 by which time the whole method had already been exhaustively discussed here.
