COLUMN Walkies #15 Blue remembered hills I think I may have forgotten what the colour blue actually looks like. I have a vague idea it’s a primary colour and every morning I glance out of the window to remind myself. That’s right, of course, it’s another word for monotone grey with a few dark smears. Perhaps the English winter would be easier if our senses were dominated by smell and not sight. And, if we were furry, to keep that 50% chance of rain at bay. We’ve decided that Todd, our regular canine walking companion, is perfectly adapted to an ‘average’ UK weather day. Except that today is very definitely not one of those. We seem to have woken into a brave new world. Not quite Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds but certainly Van Gogh on the Downs with a Serious Glint in his Eye. This is wildflower heaven. Brush strokes heavily laden with paint of every imaginable shade of yellow have been daubed onto the intense green. And up above... yes, I’m absolutely certain I’ve seen that colour before somewhere. The sky is actually blue! We meet Rachel and her two terriers, Soldier and Bessie, at the car park at Bo Peep east of Firle and head off east along the South Downs Way. Rachel is in training for an epic 26-mile ‘South Coast Mighty Hike’ from Brighton to Eastbourne fundraising for the cancer charity, Macmillan (macmillan.org.uk) and Sarah, Todd and I are doing our bit helping her to get fit. It has to be said it’s not exactly an onerous task. Fellow walkers have swapped the head-down gritty determination of recent weeks for cheery waves and “Isn’t it just glorious?” smiles, finally confirming that we’re not all completely mad for living on Mud Island in the first place. Even the dogs are joining in the general bonhomie with much wagging of tails and sniffing of nether regions. Just before we start to descend into the Cuckmere River Valley, we decide to take advantage of the stupendous views over the surrounding hills and stop for a bit of ‘Déjeuner Sur L’Herbe’ à la Manet. Perhaps sensibly, Sarah and Rachel decide to remain fully clothed. After a delightful meander - this time through a canvas by Monet - along the river bank between Alfriston and the White Horse at High Over where a gaggle of paragliders are practicing their thermalling skills, we make our way back to Bo Peep along the glorious ridge line that overlooks the vineyards of the Rathfinny Wine estate. It’s one of those walks that will stick in the mind for years to come. Blue remembered hills indeed. Richard Madden Map: OL25. Distance: 7 miles. Terrain: Downland tracks, fields, riverside paths and some steep climbs. Directions: From Bo Peep car park follow the South Downs Way into Alfriston before heading south along the river to High and Over and following the bridleway along the ridge back to Bo Peep. Halfway Pub: The George Inn, Alfriston. 91
