When you think of the Downs you often think of rolling hills, green expanses and chalky slopes. However from the many pictures we took on our walk from Devils Dike to Beading there were some unexpected visual treats. Many of which seemed distinctly un-downslike when you look back on the picture. Rusty barbed wire piled up, fir trees and booster poles made some interesting subjects. 

One thing I noticed was the amount of flooding around (Upper?) Beading, maybe a sign of things to come.
