Graham reviewed: Dry stone walling course Lancashire/Yorkshire/Manchester/Leeds/Sheffield/North West

"I did my course in August 2020,this was one of the most fulfilling weekends I have spent in a long time. John our instructor, was an excellent course instructor, funny, very enthusiastic and informative. Rather than watch him build, he quickly had both of us on the course working hard to build a section of a wall. I have learnt a lot, and now look at a dry stone wall in a new way. I would recommend anyone with an interest in walling to try the course, you wont be disappointed."

Lindsay reviewed: Dry stone walling course Lancashire/Yorkshire/Manchester/Leeds/Sheffield/North West

"I took part in this course in August 2020 and thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history and process of building a dry stone wall. John's enthusiasm for the craft really shone through and helped encourage us even at points which were difficult. The sense of achievement after completing our item section of wall was incredible. John also gave us the option of incorporating mindfulness activities, which went along with the wall building and lovely countryside setting really well. I feel very well informed by the course and an looking forward to using my newly learnt skills. I will certainly never look at a dry stone wall in the same way as before!"

"Amazing course. Felt like I had really accomplished something at the end. John was great company, informative and skilled. Loved every minute, not grafted that hard for a long time. Would definitely recommend. Looking forward to doing more dry stone walling. thanks"

Robert kenworthy reviewed: Dry stone walling course Lancashire/Yorkshire/Manchester/Leeds/Sheffield/North West

"I had a great time learning the old skills of dry stone walling. With John’s guidance, from laying the base to placing the toppers, John instructed us through all the skills of stonewalling. With plenty of fresh air and beautiful scenery the two days flew by. Even though the course was intense and frustrating trying to get the right fit of stone, John’s help in mindfulness worked a treat. I will continue doing walling with the confidence that with the knowledge that I have been given I can improve day by day. Ta."
