:13:36. > :13:42.much a part of the Wiltshire But to get there, they first had
:13:43. > :13:47.to travel more than 150 miles. And just how they made
:13:48. > :13:50.the journey continues to baffle Here's our Science reporter
:13:51. > :13:54.Jenhi Osman. 5,000 years on
:13:55. > :13:57.and we still don't know exactly how Firstly, they had to move these
:13:58. > :14:02.massive stones, and then they had to actually build
:14:03. > :14:05.this incredible monument. The fact that we still haven't
:14:06. > :14:08.worked it all out shows just what At least we know where the stones
:14:09. > :14:16.come from, even if theories vary There's two main kinds
:14:17. > :14:22.of stones we have here. The great big stones, sarson stones,
:14:23. > :14:24.come from within But the more interesting
:14:25. > :14:35.ones are the smaller ones. The source is over here in West
:14:36. > :14:41.Wales and Stonehenge is right down They could have come overland,
:14:42. > :14:46.that is one possibility. Or they took them to the coast
:14:47. > :14:50.and bring them along what is now the Bristol Channel,
:14:51. > :14:55.and along the Bristol Avon. We've got a replica of one of the
:14:56. > :15:03.stones tied onto a sled underneath, This is the way they would have
:15:04. > :15:10.moved the stones across land. Blue stones and sarsons would
:15:11. > :15:15.have been moved in this way. This of course is a big one,
:15:16. > :15:17.a very heavy one. This is probably something
:15:18. > :15:20.in the order of 40 tonnes whereas the blue types are smaller,
:15:21. > :15:25.about four tonnes. Structural engineer Mark Whitby
:15:26. > :15:27.admires the engineers who built He also took part in a project to
:15:28. > :15:32.work out how Stonehenge was built. His particular interest `
:15:33. > :15:36.how they got the stones upright. You've got to dig a hole
:15:37. > :15:39.in the ground, you've got to drop What we noticed was a particular
:15:40. > :15:44.shape of the hole that holds It has a sloping back on one side
:15:45. > :15:52.and a vertical front to it with And what I worked out was
:15:53. > :15:56.that obviously the stone had It was raised off the ground
:15:57. > :16:03.and put over a hard point so it actually fell over that point
:16:04. > :16:08.and into the hole. The engineers' houses
:16:09. > :16:11.were more basic. These have been recreated nearby
:16:12. > :16:14.and give an insight into what they They were incredibly sophisticated
:16:15. > :16:20.woodworkers and they used natural resources, but of course they didn't
:16:21. > :16:22.have any of the modern tools So to achieve building Stonehenge
:16:23. > :16:29.using primitive tools and no metal So, many theories,
:16:30. > :16:37.but no certainties. But the fact that so much
:16:38. > :16:40.of it remains after so many years shows that the builders truly were
:16:41. > :16:43.some of the greatest engineers A few weeks ago we took to
:16:44. > :16:56.the skies in a glider with retired He's often to be seen skimming
:16:57. > :17:01.across the Cotswolds at speeds He's a double world gliding
:17:02. > :17:24.champion and he was hoping this I am guessing... Did you notice this
:17:25. > :17:30.question mark you did well. We did not win the gold medal but we have
:17:31. > :17:41.come back with silver. What you get for gold? I Carr? A slightly bigger
:17:42. > :17:47.trophy. The competition was held over two weeks, we raced every day,
:17:48. > :17:54.weather permitting. Going into the last day, I had a slender lead. The
:17:55. > :17:59.last day had a few difficulties and unfortunately the dice did not roll
:18:00. > :18:05.my way. The German pulled a great flight out of the hat at the end.
:18:06. > :18:10.So, unfortunately it is the silver medal but we are pleased because we
:18:11. > :18:16.flew a small glider against age of enormous glider. That is the risk
:18:17. > :18:24.you take. And also what you can afford. Let me ask, as ground crew,
:18:25. > :18:29.how nerve wracking are these things? Quite nerve wracking. I have
:18:30. > :18:33.every faith in him but it is nerve wracking, listening on the radio and
:18:34. > :18:38.getting everything prepared in the morning. We work together, some
:18:39. > :18:43.people have professional crews that get everything ready and they do not
:18:44. > :18:49.see the glider before. We have a bit of fun and chill out and relax. And
:18:50. > :18:57.Matt, you have taken this on board as well. Yes, I followed in the
:18:58. > :19:04.family footsteps and I followed my father and his father. I have been
:19:05. > :19:09.doing it since I was six. He is not saying fully what he has achieved.
:19:10. > :19:16.Flying is in the family. I was taught to fly by my father and along
:19:17. > :19:21.the way we have helped with the coaching at advanced levels and Matt
:19:22. > :19:26.is the junior national champion. National champion. I knew we would
:19:27. > :19:32.get it out eventually. We will have another go. I have been away from
:19:33. > :19:36.international flying due to work pressures but now I have a lot of
:19:37. > :19:41.time to focus on my gliding and I'll be flying internationals again and I
:19:42. > :19:41.hope to get the gold number three. Congratulations. Thank you for
:19:42. > :19:44.coming in. To football now and it was
:19:45. > :19:47.a difficult first round for most of our sides in the league cup, with
:19:48. > :19:50.only one team making it through to Swindon Town were
:19:51. > :19:56.the only ones writing the right kind Mark Cooper's men went down 1`0
:19:57. > :20:01.at Luton but Michael Smith had something to say about that,
:20:02. > :20:04.first from the penalty spot, I thought we thoroughly
:20:05. > :20:17.deserved to win in the end. I was pleased we didn't
:20:18. > :20:20.change anything. We kept playing
:20:21. > :20:25.and scored some good goals. A nice new pitch but the same story
:20:26. > :20:29.in the League Cup from Bristol City. They were knocked back for
:20:30. > :20:35.the sixth time in seven seasons. It started well enough with this
:20:36. > :20:40.goal after just 70 seconds. But Oxford came back strong and got
:20:41. > :20:44.the winner in front of a pile They looked a lot more up
:20:45. > :21:00.for it tonight than than we did. It started by conceding probably
:21:01. > :21:06.the most calamitous goal of the lot Gillett will struggle to hit
:21:07. > :21:16.a sweeter one all season. It made that lot happy for about
:21:17. > :21:21.three minutes before this happened. The Glovers are out
:21:22. > :21:24.and it is Gillingham again On paper, the toughest task
:21:25. > :21:30.of the night was Cheltenham's. Brighton are two divisions

:21:34. > :21:43.in Somerset has come up with It's placed a sign outside
:21:44. > :21:51.saying "no riff raff". The owners insist it all stems
:21:52. > :21:55.from a family joke decades ago. But the slogan has stirred up
:21:56. > :21:58.a lot of local reaction. There's all sorts to do at the

:22:05. > :22:08.for instance. And it seems there all sorts
:22:09. > :22:21.of people too. Cedar Falls has been here for 30
:22:22. > :22:22.years, it is known for peace and tranquillity, now the owners want to
:22:23. > :22:24.keep it that way. So there's an addition to
:22:25. > :22:27.the welcome sign with the words One dictionary defines it
:22:28. > :22:32.as unsavoury people in our society. The owner has come up with
:22:33. > :22:46.the phrase as a bit of fun albeit We are showing that Cedar Falls is
:22:47. > :22:51.open to nonresidents for golf, we have a wonderful golf course. And we
:22:52. > :22:57.have standards. They need to be met. I could have written St Andrew's

:24:30. > :24:37.over numerous years, 12 years. It is
:24:38. > :24:40.a critically endangered species. This is due to overharvesting
:24:41. > :24:44.for the food markets where it is from in Vietnam
:24:45. > :24:59.and other regional countries. The turtle is cute but he has
:25:00. > :25:06.decided to stick his neck out at the wrong time. The sun has gone in.
:25:07. > :25:11.What a throw! It is a turtle which means it isn't
:25:12. > :25:16.too bothered if the sun comes out or not. Having said that, we have seen
:25:17. > :25:22.a fair amount of bright weather around. All of that will swap back
:25:23. > :25:27.again into tomorrow. We are returning to a familiar story in
:25:28. > :25:31.terms of heavy showers, unlike Monday and Tuesday showers will not
:25:32. > :25:37.be accompanied by the blustery wind so it will be a different set up
:25:38. > :25:41.albeit the net result will be the same. Through this evening with the
:25:42. > :25:46.wind from the North West we are dodging a fair amount of clouds,
:25:47. > :25:50.there are a few around, nothing heavy. Dry tonight but tomorrow
:25:51. > :25:56.morning the first cluster of showers run in and through the afternoon sun
:25:57. > :25:58.dry and brighter spells but a succession of further showers for
:25:59. > :26:05.some areas. The rest of this evening, the showers are few and far
:26:06. > :26:12.between and where we have them, moderately heavy. Through tonight,
:26:13. > :26:17.dry weather, one or two showers but temperatures again being fairly
:26:18. > :26:25.cool, as low as 10 Celsius in some parts of the countryside. Tomorrow,
:26:26. > :26:31.waiting for the showers to arrive. We will see a cluster moving through
:26:32. > :26:35.across many districts. Inevitably not everyone sees the heaviest but
:26:36. > :26:42.with lighter winds the result is significant downpours over one
:26:43. > :26:45.stretch of road so they could be tricky driving conditions. Some
:26:46. > :26:51.drier and brighter spells in the afternoon but some further showers.
:26:52. > :26:57.They will fade through the course of the evening. Temperatures tomorrow
:26:58. > :27:04.down on today, 17 or 18 Celsius. Friday, pressure from the West
:27:05. > :27:08.squeezing showers out towards the east. There should be dry weather
:27:09. > :27:15.about and drier conditions on Saturday. A weak ridge of high
:27:16. > :27:19.pressure, a fair amount of cloud but usable weather. It will not last
:27:20. > :27:26.long because unsettled and cooler weather on Sunday, Monday and next
:27:27. > :27:30.week. That is it for me. I hope there is a break in the clouds
:27:31. > :27:38.tonight because I am looking out for meteor showers. The moon is very
:27:39. > :27:44.bright. That is the trouble. That is it from us. We are back at 10pm.
:27:45. > :27:53.From all of us here, have a good evening. Goodbye!
:27:54. > :28:37.I'm Jo Brand and I'm serving up an Extra Slice of Bake Off action
:28:38. > :28:41.I'll shine a spotlight on all the goings-on in the tent -
:28:42. > :28:44.the good, the bad and the soggy-bottomed.
:28:45. > :28:48.And every week, I'll be joined by the latest baker to leave the tent.
