I think the target participant is someone who amuses themselves, has no vast ego, thinks it may work for them sometimes but not always and would love to know how, why or whether.


Bump.
No takers yet.


Tony Robinson takes the challenge on the top of Adam's Grave in the Channel4 'Walking Through History' programme on Saturday. He specifically states beforehand that he is a sceptic.

What Tony did was what most people with an interest ,sceptics or otherwise , have done , i.e. just had a bash with the rods . And the most common experience is to find that they cross and open at specific points ,even repeatedly Dowsers seem to accept this as being meaningful and is caused by the detection of unrecordable energies ,as ms Wheatley said “The rod will detect something whether you believe or not “ .In this case , as in most cases , dowsers don’t claim to find anything specific so it must be a subtle energy and hence not a test . You try June it , the rods will almost certainly cross and recross .
The particular ley line referred to in the prog went from Stonehenge to Avebury ,this is one of the most obvious lines to check and countless maps have had that line pencilled in over the decades only to note , that despite the huge number of monuments in the area there is little significant on the line .And that includes Adams Grave , alternatively if you draw the line from Stonehenge (much smaller than Avebury and therefore more accurate ) to Adams Grave it misses the closest point to the Avebury monument ,which is quite a big target considering the distance is only 17 miles , by 530 metres and the centre of the monument by 700 metres .
