After an initial 'classroom' session at the Station Inn we were soon hard at it. We continued the wall started by the last course.
Apart from struggling to find large stones suitable for foundation stones the wall was soon under construction.
Like other courses it wasn't long before the lads on the course were laughing and joking.
Richard looks for inspiration from the 'great coat in the sky'
Distinguished visitors Barry and Chris Heeley from High Hoyland Dry Stone walls dropped in to see how Ben was getting on. And what a co-incidence that we might be going to the Chilli Lodge for a curry after we'd finshed for the day!!
It was a lovely meal and a good laugh.
Day two starts with Hugo joining us to complete his initial training.
The lads admire their handicraft as the course nears its end. A nice piece of walling.
Thank you to Richard, Hugo, Ben and David for their company, wit and repartee over the weekend.
