Some of those look like beech mast - but I'm not an expert on seeds and fruit.

Towards Dunsfold Aerodrome. Trees generally obscure views from the hill, which could not have been the case in telegraph days.

Bridleway on Nore Hanger

Creek Copse is to the right of the path. The bridleway, initially, is easy walking; however, on the far side of the hill, the centre of the path appears to have been excavated to enable better drainage. As the channel is well over two feet deep, and not overly wide, I would have thought that riding a horse might be 'interesting'.

Bridleway on Nore Hanger

This bridleway runs along the ridge, before dropping off to the north.
