Charity fundraising build at Long Liberty Farm, Harrogate - 10 October 2015

On a lovely October Saturday, 10 members of Axa Insurance - most of whom had never walled before - set about rebuilding 10 metres as part of a charity fundraiser for Alzheimer's Research UK. Under the watchful eye of 5 Guild wallers they made a good job with difficult stone

Stripping out a new section of derelict wall

Going at a good pace now

Foundations starting to go in

Plenty of watchers, not many do'ers

The chairman must have cracked the whip as work seems to have resumed

Nice big foundation stone in there

All shapes and sizes of throughs going in

Dave ducks out the way as Alison aims a throw at Graham's head

Where has everyone gone?

Ah that explains it - lunch time

A special flypast for the Guild. The last ever flight of a Vulcan bomber nearly right over the top of us

Excitement over, back to wall building

Nice to see the Guild members bowing before the Chairman

Coming along at a pace now

Up to the line at this end

Nearly there (looks like some big stones left for next time)

Tops going on (much easier watching from over here)

Finishing off

Finally finished. Bet there will be a few aches and pains on Sunday

Nice job as a first attempt at walling. Well done to all at Axa
