Winter WonderlandIt was the coldest week England had seen in 12 years, and snow and ice were still on the ground. Kelly-Ann Ee, Lisette Campbell, Will Hughes, and myself trudged out onto the South Downs on a very cold day in February. .JPG)
We started at Cocking and followed the South Downs Way up to Graffam and across to Duncton Hill. Crunching our way through ice and snow, my little toes took ages to warm up and the cows and sheep looked VERY cold. Yet, somehow this seemed far more desirable than the mud we had been swimming through on previous hikes!.JPG)
At the bottom of the hill we were surprised to see sunshine and snowdrops! A welcome relief as we started to climb back up the muddy path towards the viewpoint at Duncton..JPG)
Just over 4 hours, this is one of the tougher hikes, yet it had to be one of my favourites with all the snow on the fields - and of course very little mud!
