A new Waller!

Duncan’s  keen navigation skills meant an early arrival for his introductory walling session so he was ready & waiting when Paul & Barry turned up, soon to be joined by Roderick.  Catriona had sent apologies having to supervise workmen who failed to appear the day before.
After straightening one of the pins that must have been used as a scratching post by a grazing beast, the lines were set and courses laid. Much use of the hammer testified to an awkwardness of available stone. Duncan demonstrated a good eye for stone dimensions and got a feel for the character of the sandstone and we were pleased to have his assistance.
Showery conditions after lunch developed into more persistent rain so we called a halt at 2.30 before getting soaked.
Another course and a half will bring the wall to height: sourcing and shaping toppers will be a challenge on our next visit.
