Bepton Morning Walk 7th August 2019

David's walk was a lovely sunny bright flat-ish walk across The Severals, Minsted, Iping and Stedham commons.  Blackberries were edible and the walk skirted the old Minsted sand-pit. Part of this walk was through land that may become an even bigger quarry if the Cowdray estate gets permission for extraction. The extraction if agreed  would effectively destroy The Severals and part of Midhurst Common.  See  Severals sand-pit.  Lunch was at The Country Inn where the steaks were good. Many thanks to Pauline and Mary for photos and info.
