It's really cold, considering it's June
The National Trust car park machine isn't working. This man comes to mend it, but says we won't have to pay.
Sue spots a butterfly orchid
Which everyone looks at. It's going to be a flowery walk, I think.
Across fields, not well used
Whiteshill church below
Through a meadow
Getting closer to Whiteshill
Where we have a coffee stop
And are entertained by small children with hoops and footballs
They come from here. Good to have this field to run around in.
We're on a narrow path
With lovely flowers
We discuss which clematis this is
And which one this is
Colin moves the toad from his place on the path to somewhere safer
Catbrain with picture of rabbit
Lunch on Edge Common
Another butterfly orchid
Then we're off
Sue spots a helleborine (hope I'm getting these right!)
Past the Cromwell stone
And the waving doll
A new waymark
Views over to May Hill
We reach the Beacon
Bees enjoying this thistle. Not sure what they think about the Race marker.
The Creamery at Stonehouse visible as always
Then off to the topograph and back to the car park
