South Downs
Saturday 25th August 2018
Took Chie and Erika down to the South Downs for a walk centred around Lewes, as a sort of continuation of my walk last month while they were in Japan.

So many pockets in this backpack - I found £20 stuffed in one.

The farmer seemed to be growing courgettes - or marrows perhaps.

12:23:43
Heading up the hill above the farm at (I think) Cricketing Bottom.

12:29:17
Atop Mill Hill.

The "To The Pub" here must refer to the Abergavenny Arms at Rodmell.

We found some cows.

12:44:43

12:45:32
Little calves as well!

Looks like a cow had lost its ear tag. Also some poo here.

It looks much greener now than when I was here in July in the middle of the heatwave.

13:22:26
I like this picture of Chie and Erika and the view - I think it's nicely framed.

13:23:41
Interesting light here.

13:29:02
Clouds look like candy floss.

13:29:06

Here we left the South Downs Way and started our descent towards Kingston near Lewes.

After lunch we followed the old Juggs Road from Kingston into Lewes.

15:18:14
This went past a windmill.

15:18:19
Nice sky here.

15:18:23
I thought this bit of the walk might be a bit boring after being up on the hills but actually there were still nice views to be had.

15:19:31
Erika with the windmill in the background.
