I have completed the repair to the steep wall at Intake Farm.

@Ivor That looks great, I hope it lasts for generations to come!
@Meanwhile_on_earth_One I hope so too, as the last attempt was only in 2011 (not me), having found some plastic with a sell by date.

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.)
@TalktoBeverley don't worry, I may have aching feet from trying to stay vertical but I am aware that it's technically a well built wall and very satisfied with the result.

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
Magnificent. -

@Ivor that’s a beautiful wall

@Ivor - What a stunningly beautiful piece of work. I am lost in admiration.
@tompearce49 thanks, it's also very practical as a shelter from the elements for sheep.

@Ivor Okay, well, that is not too long ago. I guess that it all depends on weathering, animal and human activity.

@Ivor Wow, that's beautiful
@Sadsquatch @Ivor I echo that; wow!

@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.
There must be massive bat colonies in there.
