The ALPTER Project staff took part from September 4th to 6th to the 12th Congress on Dry-stone Walling held in Ambleside, in the Lake District, UK. This event offered the opportunity to know a variety of drystone building examples coming from a real wide area of the world, spanning from Australia to the USA through Europe and the Mediterranean. There is a photo gallery of the Congress and Cumbria. PS: And remind that another interesting event is approaching, the First World Conference on Terraced Landscapes.
