30/05/2011 – Ditchling Beacon to Black Cap and back

This was a short gentle (well gentle and short by my standards) walk with friends Teresa and Dave.

We arrived just before 10 at Ditchling Beacon to happily find plenty of spaces in the car park.

The conditions were extremely murky with the mist rolling across the hills, not a fun thing when you were glasses and 1 lens was getting covered in moisture.

This was taken at a leisurely place as Teresa’s fitness levels are bad and need to be built up.

As we walked along the mist gradually lightened and were were able to see where were heading, and, more impotantly, the hoards of cyclists could see us as they approached from behind.

Teresa did better than I expected only stopping once on the haul back up from the first of the two lanes.

The mist did ease and the wind, after yesterday, was not too bad although we all ached after this walk.

It is intended that Teresa and I do this walk inĀ  a week’s time to see how much her fitness has improve.
