Fields near Fickleshole Clear evidence of a fire by the gate. Perhaps joyriders had stolen a car and then set fire to it. Or the sheep were chilly one night, lit a fire ... one can guess the rest.

"Col du Skelly" marker post, Beddlestead Lane, near Biggin Hill The marker post to the left of the road commemorates a keen cyclist who died in 2016.  Beddlestead Lane, a quiet country lane in the North Downs had been one of his favourite climbs when cycling.  The post is in the style of a French mountain milepost.  As a privately-arranged memorial it is sited on private land, with permission of the land owner, rather than on the public right of way.

Downland valley north of Beddlestead Lane (1) Looking north-east from Beddlestead Lane.  The white-painted buildings close to the sky-line are on the steep slope at Biggin Hill.

The main land-use here seems to be as sheep-pasture - sheep can be seen on the distant slope to the left, and there were more behind the camera, in the field just south of the road.
