This week we began preparing
for this year’s Walling Heritage Day on 11 June which we run on behalf of the
AONB. We already have 8 ‘students’
booked and there will probably be more
by the time the event comes around.
Andrew Harker the owner of Heathfield Caravan Park had kindly agreed to
allow access to a wall on his site. The
task is to take down a stretch and subsequently rebuild it so that on 11
June we have one piece at foundation
level, a second at first raise and a third close to finishing. This will give the ‘students’ the opportunity to have hands on experience
at all levels of building a wall.
The team this week
on a very wet day was Catriona, Chris, Roderick, Roger, Paul and Tony.
