Hi Nigel

Probably worth a try

Steering is dead easy though, After step one (Lift the stone) move the levers on each side of the stone in opposite directions. The stone can be turned 360 degrees almost in its own length. (Theoretically anyway I never actually tried it).

Going up a slope of one in eight is as easy as on level provided the stone is prevented from gaining any initial momentum in the wrong direction. Personally I think that oxon would be more trouble than help, believe me it really is that easy. One in eight is a pretty steep hill by the way but I think we could do steeper.

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

Regards Gordon
