Durford Wood again. Sights and sounds of autumn with Raine. No matter how many times Suzie walks here, she can still get lost. In her thoughts, too … and why does she think of school? Old time, and a huge oak spanning time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Sky Farm in a squall.   Suzie checks out a walk she is going to do with Michael Auger before he does the London Marathon and then goes on tour.  It doesn’t start well. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At Harting Down. Richard joins Suzie and Raine on a walk they haven’t done for ages. It’s a lovely, still and sunny autumn day - but fallen trees make life difficult. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s a very steep climb up to Suzie’s favourite seat in the Hangers. Not the Poet’s Stone this time, and she’s with both dogs. It’s the usual mix of memory, with both guilty sadness and unrepentant happiness, and last week’s “monster” seems to have followed them … See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you go down to the woods today … Suzie and the dogs hear something creepy in Durford Wood. Is it her imagination, listening to a Dennis Wheatley audiobook all week, or is it a real creature? You can find out about this and other horrors; the long jump world record from 1968  and share the first blackberries on Suzie’s birthday.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inf...

It’s a sunny morning at last and Suzie and Raine revisit the Hangers, which is looking very different from their last muddy visit in early spring. Her attempt to use coarse grass to make an eldrich shriek luckily ends in failure. Finally Suzie ends at the Poet’s Stone and she describes the view for those who struggle to climb that far.

The Wildes visit Liss for a walk along the old military railway as far as the Longmoor ranges and back for coffee and flapjack in the Turtle Cafe. Dogs (even wet ones) very welcome. And by amazing coincidence, Suzie meets Nigel Farndale, who is the guest author on this month’s Talking Books!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
