Monarch's Way

Climbing away from Bramber, Gorse Fox picked up the Monarch's Way and started to puff and pant as he strode steadily upwards.

Gorse Fox stopped for a drink of water and asked himself why the hell he was climbing a hill, with a backpack, in 25 degrees... and what was that drumming sound in the background. The drumming in the background slowly subsided. Was it a distant tractor? Was it an errant MP3 player? Was it a motorbike thrumming across the downs? No. It was Gorse Fox's heart disturbing the peace of the countryside!
