Practice meet at Long Liberty Farm, Harrogate - 10 July 2016
On a sunny Sunday a team of Guild members set about extending the wall that has been repaired over several years. The stone is brittle sandstone and comes in irregular shapes which makes it challenging but great fun.We didn't quite make it to the end... maybe next year?

Looks like something has been found in the way
Footings in including a huge stone in the middle
Up to throughs now so good progress
Hang on a minute - there doesn't seem to be many working on my side of the wall!
