As indicated by the wheelie bins, I've passed from Surrey (where I started my walk) into West Sussex now.11:15:15

I look a bit worn out here but I was actually having a lovely time.
12:04:38
From Temple of the Winds I took a shortcut down the hill on a path not marked on the OS map.12:12:08
Further along I found this rope swing.12:12:15
...looks like a memento from somebody's wedding.12:16:52

On arrival back in Haslemere - after a delightful hour at the beautifully unspoilt Half Moon Inn a reminder of the ever present danger of Farrow and Ball.
