Setting off from home in the rain with optimism for an improving forecast, simultaneous arrival at Markenfield for Matthew & Barry did indeed demonstrate the faith in the Met. Office as the precipitation ceased and allowed a glimpse of blue sky above the Hall. The stream adjacent to our wall was in good flow but ground conditions on site were good. Paul soon joined us and he and Matthew chose to build on the foundations while Barry added a course to the adjoining stint.
All three of us then maximised the availability of large stones to raise the northern section, finishing the day with a satisfying tie-in to the old wall and a useful gain in height.
A productive day working in calm and misty conditions, our work admired by two sets of walkers (one lady rewarding us with Werthers Originals), and sunshine at last for the walk back to the cars
