Wildlife walks throughout the year Saturday 29th May 2021 The hottest day of the year so far and we chose it to have a post-lockdown stamina test. We were pretty sure that we were out of shape and needed to take it easy but we found that we clocked up the miles at a great pace without any pain despite the incline or temperature. Perhaps muscle memory plays a large part, or maybe we're fitter than we thought. I think it's all down to spirituality. Waves of heat followed by gentle breezes, green lush foliage, the gentle noises coming from the sheep - we were mesmerised, feeling instantly back at home in our mindful escape from the world. What a pleasure to be scuffing the chalk with our worn out boots again. There are many more sheep around Rackham Hill than in the last few years, when it has mostly been cows. The sheep do such a better job of keeping the sward healthy and full of meadow flowers. Keep up the good work girls!
