Retreat to Markenfield




Spot the hare competition. 

A nice sunny day for a return to Markenfield for Graham, Barry, Duncan and me. Weather, and more importantly ground conditions, have meant a retreat from Fogfield for a while. So it was back to Markenfield and a nice bit of solid ground (if you don't count the walk across the field.)
Graham spotted a couple of hare (s?) on the horizon, though you may have worked out by now they aren't in the photo above.
Getting back to cobble was interesting. Barry manhandled a monster into position ready to support the new section of wall leading up to the stile.

Graham did sterling work digging out the overgrown stone. I think it's important to point out that I'm not suggesting the stone has got larger, but that the plant life has grown and covered it over.

I believe we used cobble almost exclusively this week, saving the limestone for the front of the wall.

Here's some pictures, which don't really show the amount of work that got done.
