Dry stone wall building

Came across these volunteers rebuilding an old dry stone wall in the Cotswolds. An old skill kept alive by a few.

Wonderful to see old skills being used.

Nice action, the stone is quite different to the Northern walls like the lake district.
I wonder how many meters per day get built?

fascinating Tony. l didn't think anyone did this any more.
Would be useful for restoring crumbling walls too

Very great interest and a good scene for those of us who are fascinated with the area.
