Fogfield

Four of us arrived at Fogfield House to start our new project on the Packhorse Trail. Clive and his two dogs welcomed us on a damp morning and after a few words we made our way to site. There are 3 stiles to rebuild and a good section of wall to go at.
Graham, Rod, Barry and I made a good start on the wall, but have to confess that we didn't do any building; all day was spent taking the wall down, a task made more difficult by the very soggy ground conditions, and the unhelpful weather.
Barry at the east end - not that sort of Eastend - had a small but steady stream to contend with, and by the end of the day looked like he had been making mud pies. He was in-fact digging a channel and sump in order to lay a pipe under the, to be, reconstructed wall in the hope that it'll aid it's longevity.
A small amount of taking down will be required next week prior to rebuilding.
