Thursday 19 JulyRowlands Castle - Petersfield: 9.34 miles, 20,430 steps, three and three quarter hours (including breakfast)I caught the 7:11 train to Rowlands Castle and was on the walk by 7:30 - it's wonderful to get going so early when it's so hot! I haven't done this walk for a while and thoroughly enjoyed it, though with the heat it was very tireing |

| An amusing sign in Rowlands Castle | What is this plant - I've seen it a few times |

|
| The footpaths are clear to see - and very hard and dry | |
|
|
| The wheat (above) and barley (below) is very dry - we've not had rain for five weeks | |

|
| The views up here are stunning | |

| Some more "easy-follow" footpaths! | |

|
| This is where you need a good map! | |

|
| Some people don't like electricity pylons, but I think that those in the UK are rather graceful | |
|
|
| A shady path was quite a relief | |
