Ashdown Forest

September 2001

Mike stayed with us for a few days in September and being the good tour guides we were we hired a car for a day trip down south. Our first stop was a country walk through the Ashdown forest. We got a little lost and I don't think we ended up going the right way but it was still nice anyway to be in the open fields.

We carried on down to Afriston and on the way we looked at a chalk carving on the downs. He is known as the Long Man of Wilmington and is probably Anglo-Saxon although there is no written record of him pre 18th Century.
