Day 336/20. A fine day for flying

A cold but beautifully clear day from Farley Mount, one of the highest points in Hampshire and 4 miles west of Winchester. See extra picture for the monument itself.
There are plaques on the interior and exterior of the monument, which read:
"Underneath lies buried a horse, the property of Paulet St. John Esq., that in the month of September 1733 leaped into a chalk pit twenty-five feet deep afoxhuntiing with his master on his back and in October 1734 he won the Hunters Plate on Worthy Downs and was rode by his owner and was entered in the name of "Beware Chalk Pit"
