After three weeks at barmy Markenfield, it was back to the February norm of dull sky, drizzle and stiff breeze at Fogfield and the remake of the stile on Low Lane.
Barry, Roderick and Graham, this week, with some very necessary specialised help from farm owner Clive and his telescopic earth mover.
By coffee break, the site was cleared and an opportune visit from Clive resulted in him collecting a very large stone , with the help of his earth mover and "deftly" dropping it at the bottom of the stile . Two bars and three people later it was in place.
After further walling, the other large stone provided previously by Clive , a 47 inch (120cm) long lintel or post was expertly maneuvered into place to crown a successful day's effort.
The sight of the day was a stoat in ermine (white stoat) which ran along the top of the opposite field wall.
