Hare Challenge Day 2

Sun 18th January 2026

A narrow, paved country road curves gently between green trees and fields under a partly cloudy blue sky, with stone walls lining both sides of the road. A country lane bordered by wooden fences and trees leads into open fields under a partly cloudy sky. Sunlight shines through the leaves, and a blue public footpath sign is visible by the path.
