Sutton Bank and the Kilburn White Horse
I went to Sutton Bank to see the Kilburn White Horse, which was surprisingly somewhere I'd never visited before, despite having seen the white horse in Wiltshire.
After following the path along the top of the bank, I stopped to take some photographs of the views and the horse. I was also surprised by how close we were to the gliders flying from the nearby airfield. They seemed to be only a few feet away from the path.
We watched as the gliders were towed into the air before being released to fly on their own. It's definitely something I wouldn't dare to ever do myself, no matter how good the photographs would be!
We got to watch some of them landing, although a couple of the landings looked rather bumpy.
The Kilburn White Horse is huge, stretching 314 feet across the hillside, but seeing the gliders soaring above the countryside was an unexpected highlight of the visit.
