Windover Hill and The Long Man of Wilmington |
I started at the base of the hill where the chalk image of The long Man of Wilmington stands proudly on the slopes over looking the Sussex landscape. It's almost as if he is guarding the territory.
My climb up the steep paths was a slow one , not only was it very hot but there were so many little blue butterflies that I was afraid I might step on one!
Ascending the hill was no mean feat ( I'm not the fittest of people) so being passed by a cyclist made me smile at his determination.

The heatwave had turned the landscape into a sun scorched panorama .
