I've only done this walk a couple of times and Liz has never done it. It was overcast at about 12C when we left, but I wore my shorts in anticipation of the sun coming through later - and it did!

| There were some sheep and lambs in the field where my oak tree grows |

The Ashford Hanger - a wooded hillside |

|
 |
| Some of the route was along a road... |
|
... but most was along footpaths |
| |
|
|

|
 |
| The first pink horse chestnut flowers I've seen this year |
|
Some interesting tree stumps on the side of the path |
| |
|
|
 |
| I detected a sweet, sickly smell, then looked through the hedge to see oil seed rape - fields and field of it! Notice the clouds. |
| |
|
|
 |
| Fences make interesting photographs! Notice that the clouds are breaking up. |

 |
| We came across some weird-looking sheep - I suppose that their mothers must have loved them! |
|
We also passed through fields containing well-dressed horses - dressed to keep out the flies |
| |
|
|
 |
| There's always a view of Butser Hill |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| The farm building is new and apparently eco-friendly |
|
Some rather garish beehives - but there were bees in residence |
 |
|
| |
|
|
 |
| The footpath crossed several wild flower meadows |
 |
|
 |
| |
|
|
 |
| The views are stunning |

 |
| Styles: my poor knees! |

 |
| We didn't expect to see Zebras on this walk! Perhaps these coats copy Zebra skin to confuse flies - as Zebra skins do |
