Arriving in support mode to collect barrows etc to return to the
Bewerley store, and braving the close attention of a dozen curious
heifers, I walked from Ivin Waite to the walling site which is concealed
in a cleft of the hill. The ringing of hammer on stone echoed round the
craggy amphitheatre, bringing to mind a scene from The Hobbit, and
indeed from a distance the Wallers appeared diminutive. Graham, Rich
& Roderick were actively gathering and shaping candidate toppers
from the quarry spoil, heavy work that on the osteopath's advice I had
had to decline. The newly built wall corner looked impressively robust,
the assembled toppers uniformly aligned ready to complete the final few
yards of a fine job in a fine location. The heifers were positively
drooling.

Round and About
Birstwith
Road closures on the way from Ripon to Pateley meant a bit of a detour so I extended the detour to see how the second of our Birstwith walls is holding up.

Hackfall
I was at Hackfall the other weekend and noticed that someone has effected a repair on the car park wall that we had offered to rebuild. No comment.
