Diary: 26th Jan Helbeck
- wind strong snowing
made a different wiggle -
Snow sticky - good to work with
- don't really like it a bit too
serpent like
might look better larger
added this [arrow to illus.]

[next page in sketchbook diary]

worked better with extra length
-gives greater sense of rhythm
& not serpentine feel slightly
by breaking the very repition up and down

About {12 paces downhill
15 paces uphill} in length

In afternoon made fairly
large [...] arch - [...]
then cut out arch - held
quite easily - although it
didn't last the afternoon.
