On a rather wet morning a team of six gathered to
commence our new project for David Brown, the farmer at Longside, rebuilding a
cheek end and repairs to a couple of gaps in a wall further along the Nidderdale
Way towards Lofthouse.
Whilst Catriona, Graham, Paul and Roger concentrated on
this wall, Barry and Tony walked over to Longside Wood to put the finishing
touches to the long and winding wall.
 |
| The
foundations are put in place for the cheek end against the new fence post | | |
 |
At coffee break, Barry outlines a future task at the new nesting
bank for sand martins which he proposed to visit after lunch.
Meanwhile back at Longside Wood
 |
The cheek end of the downhill wall is in need of attention
before we finally leave
|
 |
Barry shelters from the rain after placing the last top stone on
the Longside Wood wall.
A total of 21 gaps completed over 12 weekly
visits.
With the rain becoming heavier it was decided to rejoin the rest
of the team for lunch
|
Only to find they had already departed for a drier location to where we do not know.
Barry and Tony decided to adjourn from any further walling for the day and scope the
task at the sand martin nesting bank site at Gouthwaite.
