I didn't arrive until Midday on the Saturday, I found the group hard at work clearing the lock tail ...

... and erecting scaffolding

Tea and lunch breaks were held next to the lock

Back on site ...

.... the final clearances ...

... allowed the bricklayers to start.

Bob patches up the wing wall

That evening we walked down to the canal ...

... for an enjoyable evenings drinking in the Malt Shovel

Sally does the straight bit ...

... whilst Bob starts on the curves.

Another job was to patch and point sections of the chamber wall

... and one of the gate recesses

Harri takes her turn bricklaying.

Yet another job was to expose the coping stones on the top cill.
