My usual route, starting from May's Wood, through Wingate Wood, turning down through Bavins Shaw and up the other side of the valley...

| Halling to Lower Luddesdown.. |
The track down between Stonyfield Wood and Bavins Shaw is a pleasant, open ride often frequented by fast-flying Silver-Washed Fritillaries and other butterflies during the summer. Although the hot summer has brought the butterfly season to an early close, a few battered fritillaries could still be found...

The dry conditions have kept the blackberries fairly small in most places, but the bottom of the valley has still retained some moisture and the blackberries are pretty good here...

Along the wide farm track up the hill towards Halling Wood, various wild flowers are still putting on a good show...
 |
| Clustered Bellflower... |
 |
| Yellow Chamomile... |
 |
| Hoary Ragwort... |
The views from Wrenches Shaw show that the harvest has been completed...
