A wasted journey

4 turned up at the start of a very windy day at Markenfield, with a promise that Graham would turn up later. Catriona and Duncan working on the first stint whilst Barry and I worked on the 2nd section. The wind whipped up the dust a treat and Catriona was in fear of being blown across the fields. Barry called it a day at 12ish and the rest of us, thinking it unlikely that Graham would now turn up, decided the wind was too much and trudged up the slope by 12.45ish.
Unfortunately as we neared the car park we spied Graham in the distance. He was very gracious about our early abandonment though I did feel guilty that he had travelled all that way for naught. Thankfully the rain started to descend as we got in our cars, so my guilt was somewhat assuaged.

We got a couple of courses from the top by the time we abandoned:-

4 for walling

A rather nice day was not spoilt by the lack of mad March Hares. Though our leading mad March hare spotter, Graham, was otherwise engaged in London, so there may have be hare there, of which we were not aware.
Catriona and Duncan coordinated to put a couple of courses on the first stretch, whilst Barry and I worked on opposite sides of the second stretch. A suitable point was reached by about 3 o'clock when all parts of the team were up to the same height, and so, at that, we called it a day!
