St Ives; charcoal area

Bingley

Well, that didn't go to plan!

Nineteen of us set of for the treat of day at St Ives preparing timber and loading the kilns. However, laden with our logs we found the track to the kiln site had been blocked. Although this will be rectified it could not be resolved today so we set up camp in the field opposite the cafe. 

We had an axing zone, effectively used the timber wedges to split logs, and used the picnic benches as make shift saw horses. All the logs were prepared, which just leaves the issue of getting up the hill and loading the kilns ready for a burn. 

Luckily the rain was interspersed with occasional moments of sunshine, so our spirits weren't dampened too much.
We have got charcoal in stock if anyone wants to keep their barbecuing ethical.
