Sunny September days on the South Coast

The past few weekends have offered up some spectacular weather. I have made the most of this walking on the South coast and the Downs.

The small sketches are taken from my note book and show:

The Chattri Memorial, a wonderful spot set high on the downs looking south towards Brighton. The memorial was erected on the site of the funeral pyre where Hindus and Sikhs soldiers were cremated after having died in Brighton hospitals as a result of wounds received in the First World War.

St Peter's Church Southease (note the unusual round Spire), also known I believe as Southern Brushwood Land, or Sueise, and is mentioned in the Charter of King Edgar 996 AD. Southease is a wonderful spot situated between Lewes and Newhaven on the Western side of the river Ouse. I must return there and find a more suitable angle and make a better, more detailed drawing of the church. 
If you want a good walk, then set out from Southease (if coming by car, please don't park on the village green and spoil the view for everyone) and go for Alfriston. A long walk there and back, say 14 miles, I am not sure, anyway, it has super views towards the sea and the Weald and there only two 'big' climbs there and back.

And finally...yet another view of Cuckmere Haven near Seaford.
