Another Suprise Guest!!

That's right! Two walling weeks into the new year and each week has been enhanced by the presence of wallers past. This week, as well as a second visit from Chris, we also enjoyed the company of Elaine, a founder member of the group who hasn't been walling with us in about 4 years.

As if that wasn't enough excitement for the year we also had a site visit from Iain and James of the AONB asking us to spend all their money for them. We're collating the order sheets and hope to take delivery of the fleet of 4x4s sometime next month.

The extra hands meant we made good progress despite the pause in the proceedings occasioned by the AONB meeting. Richards Elder and Younger were separated by Chris at the back of the current stretch, whilst Elaine and Graham tackled the front of the wall. Barry and Paul did sterling work taking down the next stretch ready for rebuilding.

Some picturegraphs of the occasion.
