July 12th

Great weather for getting out on the hills...

We had some crossing points to suss and ways up and down the main ridge on the Black Mountain - these are going to be dangerous for competitors who want to straight line it in bad visibility. There are some obvious ways through the crags shown on the map but also some other 'doable' routes that could be pointed out.

 It was hot enough for some 'skinny dipping' in one of the many pools. Felt like about 20 degrees. Lovely!

Building Update

Steve, John and Dil came round to help take the old roof off.
 
 Each tile levered off and handed down to be stacked below.We got them all off before lunch. Great team!

 Steve starts work on the dodgy rafters next to the gable walls.

 Middle rafters come down.
 Steve trapped at one end. "Help.. I need a ladder!"

All off... except for purlins - these need to be sawn carefully to avoid bringing down the gable end walls.
