Lunch and then onwards

The Gorse Fox stopped at Tegleaze Post by Stickingspit Bottom for a brief rest and a snack. A pasty was extracted from deep within the backpack, and a few dried apricots fished out of a pocket. Sparkling water was opened, and the feast began. (GF would point out that even though this is Sussex, he didn't bother with a table or candelabra, and he had to carry his own food as his trusted family retainer refuses to agree that such walks are part of his duties)

After about 10 minutes all was well and he set off to loop back through Crown Tegleaze towards North Down. He was intrigued, as he marched through the woods, to see this contraption. A ladder to a seat which is attached to the tree, about 12 feet up the trunk... not sure what it's for, but would hazard a guess that it is for hunting deer (there were deer tracks in the wood, but no sign of their nests up in the branches).
