The Biovac, Ilton - 1 June 2013

A beautiful day lead to a great turn out from Guild members. Two teams set about repairs with the main team rebuilding a long section extending last years work and John gave Colin some coaching on building a wall end in preparation for his Advanced Test. A very enjoyable day and many thanks to Steve Hardwick for the bacon butties.

First courses going on. What have they found in that top corner?

Steve making some adjustments

Looks like Dick's back’s gone again!

So that’s where everyone is. Any excuse to down tools

Dave looks worried. Has he eaten the Chairmans bacon butty

Back to it after the break. I see we have even signed up a traffic cone as a member

Coming along nicely

Dave still looks worried. He must have eaten the Chairmans butty

Squad 1 finished. Is there a dip in the ground behind Michael and Woody as they both appear to be hanging on

Must have built it well to hold those 2 chaps!

The other side

Squad 2 the wall ends. Pulling out the old stone

The other side looks like it will need some work too

Always easier once you get above ground level

So far so good

Nearly finish and looking good

Topped off. Nice job now onto the other side

A bit more of a challenge as all the good stone has gone

Progressing

Finally up. That’s a lot tidier

Colin stands back to admire a hard days work

The view from the other side
