Findon and Cissbury ring

24th Oct - perfect weather apart from a slight cool breeze

Travelling to stay with good friend Janet in Worthing we stopped in a delightful pub for a light lunch in the village of Findon on the North side of the South downs.

The resident hound was well known to everyone and was a really Happy soul.



We then drove up an incredibly narrow lane to the South Downs and the Cissbury Ring - an Iron age enormous fort (earthworks).













Great views of the surrounding countryside down to Worthing past Portsmouth as far as the Isle of Wight.


Car parking was minimal (putting it mildly) and Herz would not be at all impressed by some of the rutted chalk and Flint tracks









A great dog walking area. Here you can see the village of Findon and a tiny part of the outer ditch of the fort,

There was a person flying a radio controlled glider on the updraft. As well as loops and rolls the breeze was so consistent that it could be held stationary for as long as he wanted. The same flight was going for at least our 45 min walk.
