South Downs Way Walk 16-24 October 2006 The first stop for lunch. Seven miles out from Winchester, 93 miles to go to Eastbourne. Rodney checks the map.

The Hampshire Downs. Great views even though it was a little misty. Curious sheep Rodney hanging himself out to dry comorant-style Refuelling with ploughman's lunch

Sunshine or showers heading our way? Whichever, were prepared.

Still on track

Breakfast at our comfy hotel in Lewes - Springwells - included porridge with cream, demerara sugar and whisky! Fine food to set walkers off on the right foot. Our room was the one with the window in the roof.

A great walk, but no doddle, especially the last day that took us up and down over the Seven Sisters to Beachy Head and into Eastbourne.
