Weald and Downland Museum, Singleton
on 17 January 2007
We strongly recommend a visit to the Weald and Downland Museum quite apart from the excellent courses like this that they run

The scene at 10 A.M. - weather very wet, chestnut posts put in 1 ft. deep the day before
The instructor laying the first two thin hazel whips (around 12 ft. long)
The next one starts on the inside of the second post, and so on
Team 1 is now in the far distance, with team 3 just starting at the first post
12.30 and it is still raining
How to deal with the end of the run
Demonstration of the binding turn to hold the whole fence together
More supplies arriving by ecological transport
Happy, satisfied, and nearly finished
The top layer
All 105 yards of the fence, finished by 8 people in under 5 hours
