Chanctonbury Ring: February
Sunday was the last day of February and I realised I hadn't taken my monthly photo up on the Ring. It was blowing quite a wind, 3°C and driving rain. Not too inviting a prospect, I thought.
The steep path up from Steyning, slippery at the best of times, would be particularly difficult, I reckoned, so I decided to drive up the Bostal Road and walk the 3 miles along the South Downs Way which was a flatter and more manageable route in the mud.
By the time I had beaten my way along the footpath in the driving rain (clad wall-to-wall in Gore-Tex, fortunately), the weather had cleared a bit, so I was able to take a few shots before trudging back.
The weather was much nicer on New Year's Day.
