Slightly Soggy Spring Wood Top

A group of 5 made their way to the top of Spring Wood. Catriona bumped her car to the top with Roderick as ballast. Paul hitched a ride on a farm vehicle and Graham and I (Richard H.) used up a bit of shoe leather after having met Tom Wheelwright at base camp. Tom agreed to ferry up some extra stone in his 4x4 cart after he had visited Pateley.
We made some good progress despite the rather soggy conditions on the field side of the wall, but we are again facing the possibility of a shortage of stone. 
Thankfully we were glad to receive two cart loads of stone from Tom in the afternoon.
We were passed throughout the day by the usual assortment of farm vehicles walkers and cyclists. Towards the end of the day Graham and I were very disappointed to see two fellows pushing their bicycles to the top but didn't feel as though we could comment, being as we were on the easier downward journey.

Here's the progress throughout the day in photographs
