Making more path
Managed to cycle further up the mountain this morning, but still quite a lot of walking. Fortunately, unlike a fortnight ago, there were seven barrows and only one of them went wrong (right at the end, puncture). One of them wasn't particularly good (too narrow to get a good hold on), but it was still better than nothing, so there wasn't nearly as much solo rock-carrying today. A good thing too, since the rocks in the new load were considerably bigger (one was so big, indeed, that it took three people to shepherd the wheelbarrow down the path).

I don't know how long the path was by the end, but I wouldn't be surprised if we doubled the previous length - quite apart from the wheelbarrows, the slope of the hill meant that a good length of the path only needed big rocks on one side.

Pictures from last time:

Loading a barrow (before anyone tells me to lift with my legs - I was pulling down the higher rocks, not lifting at the point the shot was taken)



The path itself
