It was that time of the month when the moon would rise on the south east horizon close to the sun setting in the north west, at least over the weekend. I would head back to the south downs for an evening walk to capture the moon and the sun but where?

Boxley North Downs Kent
I had selected a few locations within Kent that looked interesting from a landscape photography and walking perspective. With a description of steep escarpments of the north downs and glorious views over Kent, Boxley was next on my hit list.

Brenchley High Weald Kent
I was running out of new places to visit in east Sussex, so this weekend I decided to push further afield in Kent. I chose to visit the countryside around the village of Brenchley on the edge of high weald.

Burwash Common High Weald
From the OS Maps online I liked the look of the countryside around Burwash common on the high weald in east Sussex. Lots of contours, perhaps good viewpoints for some landscape photography and a walk.

River Brede Winchelsea Cock Marling
Sunday I knew I wanted to go for a walk and practice some more landscape photography, but where? I like to scout new places but I had picked all the low hanging fruit. Online I found east Sussex county councils circular walks and liked the look of Winchelsea to Cock Marling along the river Brede.

Scouting South Downs Kingston near Lewes
Another hot weekend here in east Sussex, too hot to be out in the midday sun. The plan was to do an evening walk along a part of the South Downs I have not been yet. Another escarpment the other side of the river Ouse that continues to Brighton. Due to football I not make the evening walk so Sunday morning I went on a scouting trip along the South Downs starting off in Kingston near Lewes.

Willingdon Hill Sunset Moonrise South Downs
I had sacrificed photographing a Strawberry moon rising just as the sun was setting for the world cup football, England v Belgium. The game was basically meaningless as both sides put on only their B teams. So the next evening from Willingdon hill on the South downs I intended to capture a sunset and then the moon rising over Eastbourne.

Wilmington Hill Sunset East Sussex
