Waffles Corner on the road between Rusper (West Sussex) and Capel (Surrey). Many such roads in this area. The rural population is quite high and these roads are often busy, hence quite wide and with lines down the middle. — Waffles Corner on the road between Rusper (West Sussex) and Capel (Surrey).

One of many small patches of mature broadleaved woodland that are present in this area. The grass in this field has recently been cut for hay. Photo taken from the public footpath that runs by the copse E from Waffles Corner.

Copse near Waggoners Farm, Russ Hill, Charlwood, Surrey

This small broadleaved copse in the NE corner of the grid square contains a number of ponds (which were fairly dry when this picture was taken, following an extended period with no rain). The view here is from the public bridleway which skirts the SE edge of the copse, looking towards the depression where one of the ponds would be.

Southern Counties Canine Association showground

Mist rises along the line of Man's Brook, which is ponded on the left side of the image. The association now uses, according to Link

, the Newbury Agricultural Society showground for its annual show, but "the Showground at Prestwood Lane has not been sold and there are no plans to sell it".

View from Russ Hill towards Gatwick

Part of the runway at Gatwick Airport is just visible between the trees, a plane - possibly an Air Malta Airbus A320 - has just taken off and is climbing high. The near buildings belong to Waggoners Farm.

A seasonal stream in season

Water appears in this Weald Clay stream which is dry in summer and takes some time to run in winter. Early water vanishes down the large clay cracks and more porous strata in the rather unhomogenous clay.
