On Sunday 16 March 2014 Maurice Hickman led a walk from Plumpton to Lewes. Sheila Bravin kindly provided the photographs shown below. Setting out from Plumpton in Spring sunshine Always stragglers engaged in lively conversatiomn The hills beckon Dried up mud mostly Ramblers pick their way through cautiously Each field a transition to more natural beauty A winter sun in a cloudless sky Caught their attention for a snap Wooden bridge to cross Ramblers ctually!! Lunch stop is near! Idyllic scenes prevail Anyone know what these are? Stateky home/farm and private river Lunch stop, and local produce for lunch A well fed group embark on the afternoon trek Yes steep, but many calories!! One of only two stiles encountered on this day The steep hill obscured in the woods Ramblers cross with ease Amazing views, and not even at the top yet. Onward and upwards A gentle plateau before the last climb Relieved and in awe of view Waiting for last ranbler to begin prayer The peace prayer of St Francis was recited at the summit Walkers continue towards Lewes An ancient path, no doubt across the bridge No getting lost here!! The day draws to a comforting close |
