Up the Downs

We left Winchester on Wednesday after touring the Catherdral and seeing Jane Austen's grave. Then took three buses to Cocking to start our walk on the South Downs. The night in Cocking was in a really funky farm house, they even had chickens. We havenow walked for two days and about 5 hours each day. We went from Cocking to Amberley on Thursday and from Amberley to Steyning today. The path is really wonderful. Great view can be seen over looking the patchwork land below. Awesome. And the trail is so easy compared to Italy. Tonight we are in Steyning and tomorrow we hike and then train back to Winchester to pick up our remaining luggage. We finish off in London for 3 days and then home. Wish we could tell more but using the public library make for limited use. See you all in June.
Note... along the south down trails we see only badger holes and squirrels. I failed to mention that on the cinque Terre there we saw much larger holes in the ground and Norm though moles. Afer even bigger holes we realized they were from wild boars! Nice he didn't tell me before we hiked into the hills:))
