Slightly off Topic about Dry Stone Walling

You need Gerald for advice, plus of course a translator!

I built this wall when I was 19.
There’s a lot wrong with it (be quiet Matthew!), but it’s still up 33 years later.
 
 

Nice job!

Did a poorer job at 16 that’s also still standing as part of my first job after being chucked out of school.
Farmer was going to show me how to do a drystone dyke but got waylaid, but was later impressed enough to see what I’d achieved that he let me do the remaining 100 odd yards unsupervised.
What I detested was the planting of trees within the area I had to do afterwards…..
I managed to write in ‘**************** off’ in 20 yard blocks in the wetter areas with deciduous Willow and Alder in amongst a Spruce planting which was appreciated by an aerial photographer a few decades later.
