Fogfield is regaining it's squelchy nature rather well, although we've made steps lessen the sogginess.
Barry and Graham and I all wended our way individually to the wall. A brief look at Clive's work on the drainage showed a lovely little stream flowing down to Darley Beck, from there into the Nidd, wending it's way through Horrorgate, then joining the Ouse at Benningbrough and finally entering the Humber and a short journey through Hull to the sea, where I imagine it makes up a large percentage of the total volume. At least now, hopefully, walkers will be spared muddy feet when walking the footpaths of Fogfield.
Anyway Barry and Graham did sterling work on the main wall getting to within 2 courses of the final height, and I did a bit of work on the stile.
Photo's proving we did something:
