Knepp Estate, album created on 30 Jun 2022
A 3500 acre estate in West Sussex, just south of Horsham. Until 2001 a traditional arable & dairy farm, the land has, since then, been given over to nature in a pioneering "rewilding" project.
I first visited ten years ago, but in 2022 I went on a an afternoon "safari, where I really got a feel for the place. I enjoyed it enough to go back a couple of weeks later, and I am sure I'll be back many more times, as it's no far from home.
All details on the Knepp Estate website.

On the outskirts of town, and easily walkable (what else to do when there's nothing but a televised wedding to watch at home)? I'd never been before, so I was long overdue a visit.
And it was well worthwhile! Ponds and meadows, hides, woodland and boardwalks, so plenty to occupy the camera for a few hours.

Well, I've just renewed my club subscription, but rather reluctantly, given the doubling in price. I'm not the most prolific uploader, and this is not a price that I can justify paying every year. I realise that ipernity has had its problems over the last year and I hope that this high price level is temporary, just to put the service on a sound financial footing.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who is having doubts about continuing when the cost is so high. And I really can't see anybody ne…

Crowdfunding Ipernity: still a couple of days to go ...
However, I’m pleased to say that a crowdfunding campaign has been initiated to raise funds to secure the platform's short term future in the first instance, but ultimately with a view to acquiring it for the community.
Many have already made a donation, myself included, and the campaign has got off to a great start, but there is still a way to go and less than a fortnight to reach the target … otherwise the site will almost certainly close.
So, I would urge you, if you haven't already made a pledge, but want ipernity to survive to follow the link below and donate as much as you can afford.
Help Save Ipernity
This is a unique opportunity then for everyone who loves ipernity and who wants it to not only survive, but to become somewhere we can call home for many years to come to help secure its future. Yes, there are still questions to be answered and hurdles to be overcome, but together we really can make a difference.
Please support the campaign in any way you can, be that by making a donation, encouraging your friends and family to do so, or even just by mentioning it on social media such as Facebook or Twitter.
Best wishes
PAUL
