comanche 3,076 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Had stroll between Chanctonbury and Cissbury Rings this afternoon. Both ancient earthworks on the South Downs that i last visited on a school trip 35or 36 years ago. Had'nt changed much . Got me wondering about the whereabouts of the delectable Miss Paisley the geology teacher who bravely herded us uncouth ,hormonal teenagers up the slopes, across the embankments and back to the mini-bus without a single loss and even succeded in goading us into doing a few field scketches. If I remember the scetch that Johhney Wolfe drew had little to do with Neolithic hill forts and flint mines but a lot to do with imaginary images of Miss Paisley! Anyway, caught this sunset from the top of Cissbury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
