Interesting little wooded area on one side of Cissbury Ring.12:17:07
12:20:21
Attempted to take a picture of a butterfly flitting about.12:20:22
12:20:23
12:21:03
The walls of Cissbury Ring.
12:21:34
Great views from here, and what lovely weather today!12:21:47
12:22:43
Looking rather pleased with the weather.12:23:57

Down at the bottom of Cissbury Ring now, some sheep next to the car park.12:49:01
Looking back up towards Cissbury Ring as I was leaving.
12:50:03
My new water bottle.13:00:40
The path towards Findon.13:01:42
Interesting stone.13:11:10
Bluebells.
13:15:23
Cissbury Ring, unsuitable for motors. I agree.13:16:21
One of the two pubs in the centre of Findon, almost next door to each other.13:16:31
The Gun Inn, where I went for lunch.13:58:25

14:13:09
Took this picture of Kyle Cottage in Findon for Kyle.14:14:27
Managed to miss the correct footpath leading out of Findon a couple of times! Reminded me of Exton.14:19:11
Grand house near Findon.
14:20:50
...and a neighbouring church.14:23:28
Looking back towards Cissbury Ring I think.14:32:08
Between Findon and Harrow Hill the landscape was mostly agricultural.14:32:31
I followed a section of the Monarch's Way.
14:43:19
Long line of cows.14:43:28
14:44:03
Long line of cows again.14:47:42
A manglewurzel?

Nice lawn strewn with daisies.
15:09:15
Nice gable.15:14:02
Butterfly. Can't really see its wings properly in this photo though.15:16:41
Seemed like a nice spot for a vineyard.15:23:27
Close to Harrow Hill now.
15:26:19
15:26:27
There's Harrow Hill.15:33:27
Unfortunately it was private farmland, and I couldn't get to the top of it.15:36:28
...so I just followed the footpath round the edge.
15:39:07
Although in places it was a bit unclear where exactly the footpath was!15:40:31
15:41:14
Tantalising glimpses of the top of Harrow Hill - reputedly the last place in England where fairies lived - but could never quite get there.15:44:20
The other side of Harrow Hill.

Slightly better views of Harrow Hill looking back from this side.16:01:50
16:09:15
Final flimpse of Harrow Hill back in the distance as I headed off.16:20:13
Heading north from Harrow Hill towards the South Downs Way now.
16:21:37
At the ridge where I met - ever so briefly - the South Downs Way again.16:23:01
Some kind of orchid perhaps?16:25:40
16:26:38
I rather enjoyed this final section of the walk.
16:31:12
Nice to see the landscape laid out before me here.16:32:39
16:33:25
Lovely feel to the air at this point - like a summer evening.16:34:46
16:41:02
16:55:43
Heading into Storrington.17:03:58
I hoped I might get a glimpse of the vineyard at Storrington Priory (one of the two Dermot Sugrue uses for his Sugrue wines) but alas not.17:33:20
On arrival in Storrington, after a quick shop at the Waitrose. I look a bit tired here!
18:08:00
Amazingly buses were running so I was able to get to Pulborough, where I had the traditional bag of chips from the chippy next to the station.19:51:42
Attempt to get a picture of the sunset on the way home on the train.20:01:23
At London Bridge. I wanted to get a boat the rest of the way home, but of course since I don't actually live along the Thames this wasn't in any way feasible.
