Tuesday 12 September 2017Petersfield - Butser - Petersfield: 12.4 miles - 27,040 stepsSlightly longer that the last time I did this walk (20 July) - I did some errands before I started the walk and also took and alternative route at one point. I had thought that hedgerow fruit had finished but found enough for two containers of mixed fruit, including a new crab apple (or at least wild apples). It was a lovely September day, but it finished with rain, though I wasn't far from home when it started.

| A poor old oak tree - still able to produce a few acorns | The bain of poor old walkers - a style! | |

| Good to see Mum and lambs still together! | An impressive machine - with an impressive price: nearly £200,000 second hand! | |

| Just to the right of the path, on some waste land between the path and the next field, something yellow caught my eye - I stopped to look and found not one, but several pumpkins! Why are they growing there? | ||

| Back in Petersfield I saw these apples overhanging the path - by now I was too tired to start scrumping, but are they ever picked? | ||
