Just when we have no road access, we arrived on site to find the wheelbarrow had a flat! Unlike sturdy UK wheelbarrows, the ones here are easily deflated - rather like us at that moment. But luckily we'd seen a wheelbarrow replacement wheel department in the local farmers' shop, so we trundled the barrow to the van and went to buy a new wheel. It didn't quite fit - but a bit of filing and a large hammer fixed that.
Roadside barrow repairs
We bought more lime and sand to complete the foundation blocks - and barrowed them across country to the site - uphill over lumpy tracks - not so easy, Dave said (well, panted). I gave him lots of moral support, but he didn't seem too grateful.
