Went for a slightly shorter walk with Iren leaving Ditchling Beacon to go to Black Cap and return,
Had great fun getting to the Beacon, there was a lot of cyclists struggling up the hill which meant that the drive up was tight – not much fun for all concerned.
The walk was fine, not too hot or cold, but visibility was a big issue, the fog had not lifted so we were walking in the clouds !
We got caught out by the gate to Black Cap Down which was locked and followed a cyclist in climbing over the gate – ho hum we found that the gate could be opened by hinging it at the latch and padlocked chain !!
At the top of Black Cap we had a view across the cloud, unfortunately on the walk back we ended up back in the clouds, ho hum we only knew that we were getting near to the Beacon when we could hear the traffic – my wasn’t crossing the road fun !!!
