Sunday 22nd October

 

I was up on the down this weekend with Mike Mossman who joined me for his down wardening induction. Checked fences at top and bottom of Down. Those on left of top path have holes into the top fields but they are not relevant to the sheep. 

Counted 61 sheep and walked the whole of the perimeter. There was a young Roe buck in with the sheep, who were quite happy and ignored him. Very handsome! We did some cutting on the path to the water trough and the steep path up to the beech hanger. Very quiet. No dogs/walkers in middle compartment. Pippa Evans pp.      Chris Lloyd
