We got the train down to Lewes, and stopped off there to buy Erika some hiking boots.11:20:12
She chose these, more like snow boots really, but I thought they'd be handy for the winter.11:45:06
Erika on arrival at Bostal Hill. I had very pragmatically cheated and got a taxi to here, so we could start our walk right on the South Downs Way (and at the top of the hill!).11:45:22
The South Downs Way.

I love this picture, and I hope it captures what a lovely time we were having.11:53:37
Beautiful autumn skies today.11:56:15
Lovely far reaching views.12:00:48
Erika looking very jolly.

Oddly there was a guy on a unicycle.12:01:21

The trig point.12:07:42

We were also treated to a sky full of paragliders! It was quite magical walking along with them above our heads.12:09:38

I wonder what the cows make of them.12:43:06

Nearing the radio masts now.13:02:25

A Land Rover. I think this was assisting the paragliders.13:15:30

Another selfie of the two of us, hopefully showing what a lovely time we were having.

A bit of abandoned farming machinery.13:29:30
Cows and the landscape.13:31:10

Nearing the end of our walk, and starting to head down the hill towards Southease now.

Once back in Lewes we headed to the Lewes Arms for a late Sunday lunch.
14:31:37
Having a drink while we waited for our lunch.14:41:30
Both Erika and I had the nut roast. Not sure Erika really likes roast meals much, but she did at least eat a fair amount of that cauliflower cheese.
14:41:33
I thought it was really nice and ended up eating a fair amount of Erika's too!
