Walks at the moment: We are trying to finish the Birketts, just 30 left out of 541 including Pillar Rock as the finale. Finished the Wainwrights in 2013, last one Slight Side. We enjoy walking in the Yorkshire dales, having done most of the 2,000ers in the old boundaries that was once North Riding and interested in the Nuttalls - keep adding the lists. Welsh 3,000 also lots of good stuff to do in Scotland - plenty of summits2do MAIN BLOG PICTURES PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE ALSO CLICK OLDER BLOGS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR PREVIOUS YEARLY POSTINGS

SOUTH DOWNS WAY - SOUTH HARTING TO BURITON

 
 
Back on the South Downs Way on our week's holiday in Up Marden at Pitlands Barn. The weather was warm but a little overcast. We parked up Harting Hill and headed on the hedge-lined track north-west with the Weald (Anglo Saxon, forest) to the right. The track is known as The Forty Acre Lane and leads for nearly one mile alongside gentle farmland. We passed rows of Copper Beeches eventually meeting Queen Elizabeth Country Park which consists of 1400 acres of forest and downland. We stopped here for lunch and joined the park visitors at the local tea hut and found ourselves a picnic table. Because of pick-up spots we reversed our trail and headed back to the car, 12 mile round trip.
