I'm walking Kinder Scout this weekend. Last time I did it with my dad, and we had a map from the 1980s. On this map, over the top of the plateau, was written the equivalent of "you can definitely get across here but fucked if I know the route." There was no path written. I have a modern map from 4 years ago, which has a path shown. This path is a lie. I know for a fact there is no path there.

The path itself looks like an African border, like someone knew where the other parts began and ended and just drew across with a straightedge.

Why would you do that? Just be on a map and lie?

Scouting South Downs Kingston near Lewes

Scouting South Downs Kingston near Lewes

Another hot weekend here in east Sussex, too hot to be out in the midday sun.  The plan was to do an evening walk along a part of the South Downs I have not been yet.  Another escarpment the other side of the river Ouse that continues to Brighton.  Due to football I not make the evening walk so Sunday morning I went on a scouting trip along the South Downs starting off in Kingston near Lewes.
