[amberley]

So it was Steve's choice today: what to do on a Sunday. Walking of course!! Although it certainly isn't one of my favourite first choice's I am getting into it...I really enjoyed today's 6.5 hour trek! We did stop for 30 min. for nice home-made paninni and ice tea but the rest of it was walking. Up and down hills and in hot hot sun. After all that though I felt like I accomplished something; that's the point says Steve. We followed the South Downs path from the picturesque village of Amberley, doing a circular route through Houghton, North Stoke, Canada, and back to the car park at the eastern edge of Amberley. The walk offered stunning views over the Arun valley, hills, and the River Arun. The view is from the top of Rackham Hill and the other is a wild poppy we saw along the way (which reminded me of our cottage).
