| We
split into three teams for the morning's work which involved putting
in three kissing gates. One required some adjacent stone wall resconstruction.
After lunch we joined together to do another kissing gate |
|
This is the situation we found with
barbed wire in front of a two bar fence. Technical Tony is poised
to start removal work! |
Technical Tony now at full steam |
Meanwhile a similar situation confronts Bryn and
Gus in an adjacent field |
The all important discussion stage -- where exactly
do we position the king post |
| 
At the first site the king post and
gate are tested in the hole that was a pain to dig through rubble
and rock. |
Bryn, Tony and Gus are at the same stage |
At this point your photographer was
working on the old wall which we'd had to partially dismantle |
Tony moves a fence pole to fill a gap beside the
new gate |
| 
Bob has arrived from his job to check
progress. |
At the first site again the side sections are being
positioned |
This is Bryn, Gus and Tony's finshed kissing gates |
And this is Dave's team's completed job |
| 
The afternoon kissing gate. We start
by attaching the gate to the king post |
Once the king post is firmly in position we swing
the gate to work out where to dig the other three holes. |
Shaping the side struts isn't a popular task but
Tony didn't seem to mind doing them today |
Almost finished |
