Sometimes the subject of Stonehenge makes me feel a little weary but maybe weariness is a sign of the times ... so I put the programme on record and am watching right now. Far from wearying am finding it quite exciting, a bit of a roller coaster. Full credit to Mike Parker Pearson for keeping going over a decade in the face of some disappointments. And at the last site ... those archaeology students were amazing - they keep digging in wind and rain.
The other thing that came up that appealed to me was the idea that the route taken to transport those bluestones was perhaps an ancient trackway now the route of the modern A40.

A great account of a mammoth act of faith. Bravo to MPP and his intrepid team.
