After a week off for good behaviour it was time to tackle
our next task, which was to repair gaps in the wall alongside the Nidderdale
Way path at Longside Wood.
A team of six (Catriona, Graham, Richard H, Richard P,
Roger and Tony) assembled in the lay-by one mile north of Ramsgill. Richard H provided
a briefing on our route to the site.
On arrival the team was split into three
and allocated to the first three of many gaps in the wall.
The walk from the road to the site (see arrow)
It soon becomes clear what
the task involves
A closer view of Gap 2 reveals that this
was the opening to the tree plantation
The search begins for
stones that have rolled down the slope between the newly planted trees (a task
completed by the Tuesday NCVs in Feb 2014)
The two Richards make
good progress on Gap 1 and still have time to chat
Catriona and Roger start
to build up the two wall ends in Gap 2
Graham (withTony) starts to lay the foundations
in Gap 3
Roger finds
a perfect seat at break time
Gap 2 is becoming the new
opening
The extended Gap 3 begins
to join up
Catriona thinks she has
found the perfect stone
Close of play on Gap1
.....and the completed Gap 2
..…and Gap 3
Back next week to finish
Gaps 1 and 3 and hopefully tackle the next set of gaps
