Chris Smith reviewed: Two day dry stone walling course at Freshfields Animal Rescue Centre Nebo North Wales

"Fantastic course with Barney Murray! Under his expert guidance we learnt as a small group by doing - demolishing an old wall then rebuilding it, stronger and tidier than before. We were all really impressed by our handywork at the end! Thanks to the venue Freshfields Animal Rescue also for hosting us at Nebo."

Dry Stone Walling Association North Wales Branch responded:

"Thanks Chris. Barney is the newest of our three instructors and is very good. Freshfields is a good venue as it has that rest room for breaks. Regards Paul"
