@Ivor this looks like an amazing piece of work! (You might frame this picture as a reminder of what it is possible to do.)
@nxskok thanks! I might have done just that 40 years ago.

I have completed the repair to the steep wall at Intake Farm. I have never worked on such a steep slope and probably never will again.
The challenge of working on a steep site makes me glad to be finished. It is a job that I will remember for a long time.
@Ivor incredible! Well done!

@Ivor Bravo, Ivor!
@withaveeay thanks! Who was that old bloke who kept carrying something to the top of the hill only to have it roll all the way down again? I know how he feels.
-
@Ivor absolutely cracking that.
@ItsThatDeafGuy thanks! I'll not be doing this again!

@Ivor back breaking work

@Ivor incredible! Well done!
@sarahdalgulls thank you! What if I told you that I did 99.9% of the work from the other side and couldn't see this face as I was working.....

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
As someone else said, there’s something strangely satisfying about it (which is easy to say when I’ve had none of the back-breaking work to do.)

@Ivor Looks amazing, and the discussion of the hard work that went into it makes me appreciate (even more) how impressive the miles and miles of dry stone walls around the country really are. It also reminds me of the generations of skilled country people that built and maintained them over the years.

@Dianotron here in the North Pennines, the incredible dry stone walling is not just on the surface. That's me in front, just clearing shale from the floor.
There are miles and miles of disused lead mine levels that are lined as in this photo. The quality of this stonework is second to none and very little movement after hundreds of years.
