It reminds me of the ringing rocks in Pennsylvania if you tap them with a hammer they make a musical tone. I wonder if it is a similar effect. http://www.unmuseum.org/ringrock.htm

Does NOBODY know about Brimham Rocks?
Monument Valley type weathering and logan stones. Check out [URL=http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/brimham-rocks/URL]
Well worth a visit but you will need to ask about the logan stones as they don't want people falling off of them.
Must pop up there and bash a few with a hammer to see if any of them ring.

Thanks Sem, I was wondering if it was linked to the stone being touched/moved initially.
Aeons ago, I remember watching a TV programme, something like 'Nationwide' where the presenter was walking in the countryside. He came to some standing stones and whilst talking, touched one and there was a huge peal of thunder. As it was a clear day, he was unnerved, then he touched the stone again, there was more thunder and he left, shaking his head in disbelief. Anyone else recall that , maybe there's a youtube clip somewhere.
Anyone experienced that themselves, touching a stone followed by a clap of thunder on a fine day? I've had it happen once but on a stormy day, the vibration from the thunder via the stone into your hand is something else!

Hi Rune
C remembers it as being in the first couple of rocks, which would be while Tim (Shropshire Traveller) was doing it.

That's *fabulous* you were certainly in the right place at the right time to connect with that one Sem!
At what point in the stone-rocking did the thunder happen? I didn't hear it on the video, although my monitor speakers aren't amazing.
Was it at the first rock, or part way through or...?
Sounds like an incredible event, shame I couldn't be there but really happy that everyone had such a good time. Looking forward to seeing and hearing even more about the days' events.

Thanks Eric, you look different in real life to your photo. Eric claimed his 'reward scheme' books once I realised who he was! Thanks for reminding me about the scheme - which is still running - if a little dusty - see the link in the top menu.
Here's the stone:

I'll put this on the front page - does anyone have more pics from Rockingstone Farm to come in?
I have a video from Sem which I will upload. [Update - now embedded and ready to view] You can embed videos on our pages if you upload them to Youtube or other video sharing site first. Just post the link and I can help embed if you prefer.

... a stone the size of a small car is being rocked ...

Initiated Rockingstone Farm as a new site, and sent in a short video of the stone being rocked, and one with Tim rocking another stone at the top of Rowtor Rocks. Can't find them in here though. 
The Rowtor Rocks one made a booming sound, being over the top of a Victorian cavern - where I found some cave art
