After a period of seemingly incessant rain, the weather finally brightened up in perfect time to make the most of our extended weekend (thank you, Autovista!) with some lovely, muddy walks.

On Friday, Team Ubuntu colleague James and I covered an 11 mile route around Silent Pool, St Martha’s Hill and Newlands Corner with beautiful views across the downs towards the south coast.

Having futilely spent time cleaning boots and gaiters on Saturday, I then set off on another pair of walks on Sunday, enjoying beautiful sunshine, the company of friends and yet more mud!
