Markenfield Update
(Editor's note - the NCVs' task for Tuesday 27th January was cancelled this week, due to the extremely bad weather, so the walling group have got the blog to themselves. Below is the report on the progress made last week, sent to me by Rod.)
Injuries and illness reduced walling numbers to just 4 this week, Andy, Dave, Simon and Rod felt that this was, debatably, the right number as the wall approaches its termination with a tight working space and little room to lay out the stone taken down.
Andy and Simon topped off another section whilst Dave and Rod dismantled most of the remaining wall as far as its right angle turn.
This involved some pretty hefty stones that we can have fun putting back up. New base stones were then set and sides raised to allow us to clear some of the extensive infill back into the wall and keep some clear access.
Soggy sandwiches in the lea of the wall.
Overall good progress was made up to a little before lunch when the heralded rain started. Over a decidedly wet lunch, and with no cessation of the rain predicted, it was felt sensible to finish early and head home for a shower.
