Irish Times!
When I got up to the Cruagh Wood car park this morning, Shay (the chair) asked me if I'd seen the Irish Times this morning. The reporter who'd come to see the path-building a month ago had her story on page 6 of the weekend review supplement, and the picture included me lugging a rock.
I spent the morning in slightly less brute-force work than the past two weeks - repairing some bits of the path that had come loose (or possibly been vandalised). The big rocks at each side of the path need to lock together well to prevent the sand from being washed out, and there were a few places where rocks had come loose or weren't ideally placed, so I helped with finding better fits and remaking the sides of the paths.
Fewer wheelbarrows again, though, so in the afternoon I carried rocks up and down the path. We're almost at the bend before the style will go in - I'll miss the next session, perhaps in a month when I go again, I'll be there for the finish!
