More orchids and a long walk!

I joined a couple of old friends today along with Petra for a walk on the South Downs Way from Washington to Botolphs. (see left)

There were lots of orchids at the Washington end. Mostly groups of common spotted orchid (right) but there were a few pyramidal too.








At Botolphs I set off with Petra up the Downs Link to Steyning.

These pretty sheep came across to see us on the first part of our homeward stroll.

Home by 1 o'clock - Petra slept the rest of the day!
