Approximately 10 volunteers turned out on a damp day (20/4/8) and "patched" 2 "small" sections of drystone wall - on National Trust land between Edale and Hayfield. It may not sound like much but with 7 or so novices and three more experienced volunteers it kept us busy and warm.
As with may task the situation looks works before it gets better - you often have to take the wall down to its foundations to sort out an underlying problem before rebuilding it, and the net result is that during the preparation stages the gap just appears to grow. These photographs show the section where our beginners were taught - before and after.
