River Brede Winchelsea Cock Marling

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 was keen to get more experience with my new DLSR, we were having a very hot weekend in May here in east Sussex. The hottest day on records and the daytime was too hot and bright for a hike. So I decided to head to the Firle on the south downs late afternoon to practice some landscape photography and try and get a sunset over the South downs.

Driving along the A21 to and from Hastings I could not help noticing the views and landscape around a small place called Johns Cross. So it was towards the end of April on a beautiful sunny weekend I decided to take a walk around the countryside of Johns Cross in East Sussex.
