Parked up by the windmills at Clayton and set off for Wolstonbury Hill, the intent was to walk up Wolstonbury then return and go to Black Cap via ditchling Beacon to complete a 3 Trig point walk.
However I had to re-appraise the walk as the ascent from Pycombe to Wolstonbury was proving problematical due to shortness of breath and a lack of energy (this was the start for gawd’s sake)!
Taking in some stops for breathers and rests I managed to pass out of the tree lined path and begin walking across the open grassland to the top of the hill and the Trig point (TP) where it became apparent that the wind was blowing very strongly and reaching the TP would not be a problem 🙂
Once at the top I took a picture to prove I had made it before descending back to Pycombe and the main road before the climb by the golf course :-O
As expected the the wind and shortness of breath made the climb heavy going, by the time I reached the stables I had decided that I would return to the car rather than struggle.
So this is a tiny walk of some 5.12 miles, it will be repeated hopefully with the TP at Ditchling Beacon also reached at a minimum.
Here’s the Map and photos:
