Practice meet at Long Liberty Farm, Harrogate - 30 June 2012

A busy day at Long Liberty Farm with Chris taking his basic, Alex and Colin practicing their advanced and Paul and Matt having a go for the first time after a Guild training course. Everyone did a great job despite the frequent showers (will it ever stop raining?)

Ready for some repair I think

Off we go on the next section. Chris sets off on his basic test

Colin & Alex both practicing their advanced test of a wall end

New recruits Matt & Paul fresh from one of the Guild Courses have come along to have a go (well talk about in first)

Chris gets in a bit of practice on Maypole Dancing

Chris returns from his Maypole practice and is at a loss as to where all his stone has gone. Heather's not sure either. Matt & Paul still talking about it

Matt & Paul have run out of things to talk about so get stuck in whilst Dave does some gardening

Chris praying for some inspiration (especially with this stone)

Lord Michael of the Manor sits on his newly constructed throne and surveys his servants work

More progress on the wall ends

I think lord Michael has nodded off. That forthcoming shower should wake him up

Chris progressing well

The rest of the team are also making good progress

Colin's final wall end. A good learning experience with feedback given on the day

Alex’s final wall end. Again a good learning experience

Looks like thats it for the day

The view from the other side. Well done to Matt & Paul and those taking tests, a good learning experience for all
