The Met Office had promised that the day would be rather fine after an initial morning flurry but the snow kept falling for a good while into the morning. Of the regular wallers only Graham and I had managed to make the journey, others from more lofty environs had had rather more snow to contend with.
Terri and Clive, our new comers, arrived at around 10 o'clock having come through snow drifts and downpours all the way from Barnsley! I hadn't quite appreciated they were coming quite so far, but it's a valiant effort on their part.
The snow stopped falling at about 10.15 and we jumped out of out vehicles and hot footed it to the wall for a very bright, sunny and cold day of walling
Terri and Clive took down a section of wall for the morning session, and in the afternoon they got warm again, after a chilly lunch, by rebuilding a decent stretch up to mid height.
Apparently we haven't put either of them off walling in the future, so hopefully they'll continue to have a go. Perhaps a bit nearer to Barnsley next time, although they'd be welcome to wall with us again if they fancied it.
Here are the photos.

Thanks to both Clive and Terri for braving the weather and for building a good solid section of wall.
