I’ve been used to passing sheep, cows and horses but this is the first time I’ve passed goats on the South Downs Way.

I stop to take a rest near the Chanctonbury Dewpong reserve.  It’s a glorious day for walking with lots of dog walkers, runners, cyclists and horse riders out to enjoy the views.

I approach a sign on my walk from Amberley to Washington which shows me that I’ve passed the half-way point!

One week later I’m a bit more relaxed as I walk over the river and through the Amberley Valley…ready to start my next leg to Washington

On Bignor Hill past the NT Slindon Estate – typical chalk path through cornfields rustling in the breeze
