"Well worth travelling up from Bucks. A very well organised and presented course with Carl getting across a lot of information into the walling art in a manor which is easy going and friendly. Hats off to his ability to remember all the names in our group of eleven. Thoroughly enjoyable with great views, great weather and great people. Completed the repaired section of wall in easy stages over the two days and even managed to build in a stone to “hang your hat” ( group joke) 10/10 for the on course catering, beer at local pub and in my case a recommendation to get an evening meal at “The Navigation” where the Sunday roast even beat my appetite."

"Fantastic opportunity to learn such a skilled craft. Carl is a great tutor. We really enjoyed what turned out to be quite a mindful experience - being totally absorbed in rebuilding a dry-stone wall over two days amongst wonderful scenery and with wonderful people meant that all of the stresses of work and family were not given a second thought! The whole weekend is run very well - and Sharon's lovely home-made soups are welcome at lunchtime. In fact, all of the food, snacks and drinks are plentiful and tasty. And we do recommend blowing the froth off a couple with Carl and Sharon at the end of the day at the nearby Diggle Hotel - to reflect upon your achievements and to continue the team-building vibe! No hesitation in recommending this course! Go for it!"

"What a grand 2 days out! The team (Carl, Sharon & Ray) provided a brilliant introduction to drystone walling and a memorable experience. The knowledge and guidance provided by Carl & Ray has given me the confidence to go out and start repairing walls in my local area. I have already got a project lined up! The teaching methods and general approach made understanding the complexities of drystone walling easy to follow and put into practice. Great course and I would definitely recommend it!"

Simon Straker (and Sue) reviewed: Premium experience package dry stone walling for beginners

"Carl and Sharon were very accommodating in responding to our request for one waller and one spectator. Simon had a fabulous weekend of instruction and I enjoyed dipping in and out to alternately watch the progress and go for long walks in the beautiful countryside, pick up a few tips and enjoy Sharon's fabulous locally sourced lunch. A perfect arrangement for us. Simon gained a great deal of satisfaction from working with the rest of the team to dismantle a damaged section of wall and then to see the finished, rebuilt product on Sunday afternoon. It was a real sense of achievement and a big thanks to both Carl and Ray for their patient instruction."

"An excellent introduction to dry stone walling. Carl is a patient and helpful instructor, who gives clear and helpful advice with humour and purpose, explaining in simple terms the rationale behind the advice. The lunch was very good and filling."

Rob Baker reviewed: Premium experience package dry stone walling for beginners

"This was an excellent course. Carl patiently and professionally explained and demonstrated the various techniques of taking down a section of wall that was in disrepair, grading the stone, preparing the footings, selecting the stone and assembling a wall that will last a couple of hundred years. I found the whole experience fascinating. A 3D puzzle that was solved as a team. Sharon provided superb support making sure we were fed and watered. The food was excellent."

"Well what can I say but a bloody fantastic experience. From the minute the first email came through detailing everything and anything you needed to know, right up to being with a fabulous group in a setting of such beauty it takes your breath away. I can’t praise these guys enough for a really informative course. I had never done anything like this before but Carl and Daniel gave clear easy to follow instructions and made the 2 days a absolute joy. I would recommend this course, the setting, the care and attention to detail spot on."

"This was a fantastic 2 day course in Edale. With just a small group of eight people it was friendly and fun. In two days we achieved so much, deconstructing an existing piece of wall and rebuilding it from scratch. Carl was an excellent tutor letting everyone work at their own pace. It was wonderful to learn with such an expert craftsperson. We've built a wall which will stand for 200 years and it was a pleasure. The wallers lunch was good too!"

"Although complete novices we successfully deconstructed a poor section of wall and rebuilt a "Stock Proof" beautiful section of wall to last the next 200 years. This illustrates what a "well oiled experience" Carl and Sharon's introduction to Dry Stone Walling is. A wonderful and educational week-end!"

"A thoroughly enjoyable two days spent in the very capable hands of Carl and Dan. Every aspect of the weekend was well planned and executed, with a beautiful dry stone wall to show for our efforts. Skills were generously shared and a great team spirit built up over regular mugs of hot tea and soup! Highly recommended."

"I received the course as a surprise gift - and it turned out to be a really great surprise! Carl and Daniel are extremely good teachers (and patient!) and are obviously very skilled at their craft. They took time to get to know everyone on the course and the result was everyone was made to feel part of the team - and the resulting banter was every bit as good as the refreshments. Great weekend guys. Thank you"

"An excellent course with lots of good fun and chat mixed with real hands-on experience. The lads are patient teachers and are great at instructing us "would be" novice wallers. The wild and unspoilt location is fantastic, but tea and lunch breaks are delivered with tablecloth / napkins and panache....yes even up the mountains!!! Congratulation on the course, would love to return for another."

"Do not hesitate to book this course. What an amazing 2 days of fun. I learned a lot from this and now feel confident to try my hand at building my own wall. Both Carl and Daniel are masters at the craft and brilliant teachers. The bonus that I was not expecting was the food! Locally sourced "walling" lunch and delicious home made soup. The presentation was beautiful and spotless. Thanks again for a brilliant weekend - I am buzzing."
