Our warden enjoyed the flowers and butterflies on the down. Only thing to report was the remains of a small fire in the hollow of "Plum Pudding". Pippa Evans

Fences, where visible, are intact. Gates also fine. I presume the misaligned and non-closing latch and keep to the lower gate of the south compartment is already known about? At the gate near the bench, in the junction of the two fences a beech bough had come down across the fence and gate, someone has lifted it clear of the gate but it is caught up and hanging from some higher branches. It is not causing a problem for now but will need attention in due course. Pippa Evans pp Keith Stevens
Please put warning signs on all the gates leading into the compartment where the sheep are grazing. Pippa

The path at the bottom of the Down, along the fence with a couple of strands of barbed wire, is very overgrown. People with bare legs complained! By that path there's a sign about ash dieback, which was attached to a post, that has collapsed onto the ground along with the post. No litter to report. David Reynolds pp. Pippa Evans
