Day
2 Saturday.
What is it with Surrey? After the Devil’s
Punchbowl, we started this walk at the Devil’s Jumps!
Despite the worrying place names, the walk
proved to be full of stunning scenery, picturesque villages and former water
mills. Paula calls this walk ‘the Real Estate’ tour! Whatever the label, it’s
clearly fifteen kilometres of English countryside at its best!
We were joined on the walk by Jackie’s friend
Claire, who will be joining Michele and Jackie for a week of intensive training
in France in June.
During the walk, we tried to put into
practice everything that we learnt from our walking coach about Afghan walking.
Jackie had still not got the hang of it, as this photo shows:
She is trying to swing her hips, look up and
bend her knees, all at the same time. Keep trying, Jackie!
Michele, still chasing trees, spotted this
fascinating specimen, which had absorbed a fence as it grew.
We were all exhausted after walking up a particularly steep hill... but we managed to follow instructions and stretch our weary bones ready for tomorrows onslaught ...
26 miles of the South Downs Way!
