Formidable

Not great deal to show for the day but an enhanced appreciation of the visscitudes of the location. Neither cave nor roundhouse remained untouched by today's wind.
The new improved rig held up after last week's catastrophic failure, which nearly saw my work disappear seaward. Alas, full safety harnesses remain out of scope for this project. Perhaps a telescopic mast to strap myself to would do?
New homemade fixative performed well in driving rain too. Little may have been gained, but at least no work was lost.
