New recruit

Barry and Graham welcomed a new recruit, Andy, who was quick to pick up the walling idea.

Another stretch of wall was cleared and Barry and Andy set about laying the first course of foundations and the wall in progress was completed awaiting toppers - a job for another week.

Lunch time retreat.

A productive morning at Brookside with the return of Duncan from sailing in warm seas, Chris and Val, Graham & Barry. The larger team allowed a start on the next stint of wall which was duly dismantled. Graham & Duncan then shifted a lot of unused stone closer to the working section and resumed a course on that, while Val, Chris & Barry worked on the new foundations. The rain started soon after a coffee break and the ground conditions by lunchtime were hazardous, so we retreated soggily to the cars, but pleased to complete the foundations and the best part of another course on the wall.

Autumnal cool.

 Autumn is on its way, but a fine but cool and breezy day.

Five of us this week.  Tony and Roderick relaid the last section of toppers and topped out the section completed last week.  Catriona, Barry and Graham completed another two courses on the section in progress. Thanks to Andrew who had brought some more stone although it  dwindled fairly quickly.
