Cowdray Forest evening circular; Heroines in the rain
This, 2.4 miles circular on a Friday evening was from the Mid Sussex Ramblers' program of walks.
It was in the program in response to a request from working people for evening walks on a Friday instead of our usual Wednesdays.
Working people, it seems, don't like continuous rain. They didn't come in droves.
Betty, Sue and Pat though did turn up, as did Pete (who needs to remain anonymous).
For their support -- through RAIN and shine Betty, Sue and Pat are the very first to be awarded the
SUSSEXRAMBLER AWARD of MERIT.
This is no simple honorary award -- prestigious though it is!
In addition to the great honour, recipients get a FREE drink at our next pub stop in recognition of their support in THE RAIN!
The following pictures were taken the day after our return from Church Stretton (see next entries), when the weather was a little kinder.

Church Stretton 3; Wenlock Edge
The area was dominated by sheep and oilseed rape. Notably absent, compared to Sussex, were pigeons, pheasants, rabbits and badgers sets. Some dead badgers were seen on the roads.
This handsome insect inspected my shirt cuff and lunch during the lunch break. It might be a sawfly, the larvae of which live on ground elder.
