Hugo, Rockmonkey and myself enjoyed a bimble round the South Downs today, had a grand old time, albeit a bit chilly at times in the northerly wind.
starting out, it can be a bit bleak on the hills at this time of year
still a bit snow on the hill tops and sheltered spots
bit further round the hill
sheet ice on the path = one way trip to a broken leg
Looking over to where we are headed
Hugo (R) & Rockmonkey (L) headed towards the big hill in the distance
Past the frozen Dew pond
some of the other locals
snow still to be found in the sheltered spots
looking North
yep, it's a bit bleak round here in the winter, it stills holds a certain magic though
Lunch spot, fresh cooked bacon butties for Hugo & I, fresh cooked gloves for Rockmonkey (sorry mate, couldnt resist
)
Lunch eaten and hot drinks downed, time to carry on
where we have come from , this area is known as Bunny Land and for good reason
Hugo & Rockmonkey
general view over the land
looking back to thge area where we had lunch
Anyone got a sledge, that path looks fun, well until you get to the sudden stop at the bottom
From here we basically rejoined the outbound route and headed back towards the start point for the bimble.
So thanks for the company chaps, had a great day and a lot of laughs
