Paul ReedHOST
And then walking up that close round the back of the cafe up towards the church, as I said earlier, you pass those many houses, homes to the people of Wadhurst in 1914, as they are today.
Paul ReedHOST
And when I walk past a place like that and know the history that's there, know some of the stories of the men who fell, I have medals to lads from Wadhurst that were in the 5th Battalion who survived, South Downs lad who was wounded at Rischborg in 1916.
Paul ReedHOST
And I look through the windows of some of these houses as I'm walking past and- I can imagine the families having the, the memorial plaques and the scrolls up on the wall in there, and a proud veteran putting up his cap badge onto the mantelpiece alongside his pipsqueak and Wilfred, his medals or whatever it is.
Paul ReedHOST
And I guess with an overactive imagination, as, as many of us have when we think about the Great War, we can picture those moments, the day that the special envelope came with the plaque in it and the medals, or even worse, of course, a little bit before when there was a knock on the door and the telegram announcing that someone was killed or wounded or missing.
Stuart PesterGUEST
So i- it's just incredible.
Stuart PesterGUEST
And flying over the South Downs, yeah.
Vernon KayHOST
I'd love to do that.
Vernon KayHOST
Sounds amazing.
Leroy ValentineGUEST
Because, especially out there, it's scary.
Leroy ValentineGUEST
Because it's not like you're on the North Downs or South Downs.
Leroy ValentineGUEST
You're away from civilisation, totally.
Sarah PageHOST
Yeah.
Gareth BoyesHOST
How many of us, if we are honest, feel that we are able to do more when it comes down to that initial training of our dogs? We all start with good intentions, then it falls by the wayside.
Gareth BoyesHOST
We all want that well-trained dog, so what is the secret? Shine Radio spoke to Joe when they were at the South Downs show last month.
Gareth BoyesHOST
Do you find out more?
JoeGUEST
It's about being calm and consistent would be the first thing I think when you're training a dog.
Sue McKenzieGUEST
So because we were complete amateurs, apart from Ian, our head chef.
Sue McKenzieGUEST
Anyway, the whole thing, we started as a little hotel in the South Downs, on the South Downs Way, in a little village of Jebbington, which is the first Downland village coming out of Eastbourne.
Sue McKenzieGUEST
So it feels very hidden away, but actually it's, in a funny way, quite near to a vanity.
Sue McKenzieGUEST
So we decided to be a little hotel with six bedrooms as well as the restaurant, because we didn't really know what was going to go best.
Nick GrimshawHOST
The Mother Teresa of Kitchens, um, put on this great meal with Action Against Hunger.
Angela HartnettHOST
Yeah, at Sugrue South Downs.
Nick GrimshawHOST
And Sugrue South Downs.
Angela HartnettHOST
Mm.
Nick GrimshawHOST
This great vineyard in South Downs.
Angela HartnettHOST
Yeah.
Nick GrimshawHOST
No idea where or what the South Downs is.
Angela HartnettHOST
[laughing]
Mark SmithNARRATOR
The road in its gentle curves had really brought us to a considerable elevation, seven hundred feet, as we afterwards discovered.
Mark SmithNARRATOR
Challenger's house was on the very edge of the hill and from its southern face, in which was the study window, one looked across the vast stretch of the weald to where the gentle curves of the South Downs formed an undulating horizon.
Mark SmithNARRATOR
In a cleft of the hills a haze of smoke marked the position of Lewes.
Mark SmithNARRATOR
Immediately at our feet there lay a rolling plain of heather with the long vivid green stretches of the Crowborough golf course, all dotted with the players.
Anton RosenfeldGUEST
So sanfoin is quite a nice sort of traditional plant that used to be grown regularly.
Anton RosenfeldGUEST
particularly in the south of England, on the South Downs, it really likes a sort of dry chalky soil.
Anton RosenfeldGUEST
It's really pretty actually.
Anton RosenfeldGUEST
When you see it flowering it's got these beautiful sort of red spikes, you can really see it in the field, but it's quite a sort of delicate plant.
JoeHOST
And it's implying that they're in the back of these boxes being driven
PlantyHOST
around the South Downs.
PlantyHOST
Right?
JoeHOST
And it's like, no health and safety signing off on that.
Lise ThorneHOST
The moon walk, for me, was one of the hardest.
Lise ThorneHOST
So I did a th- a thing called Trail Walker, which is a 100-kilometer walk on the South Downs.
Nell McAndrewGUEST
Oh.
Lise ThorneHOST
And you do it straight through the night, so it took us 30 hours.
