Re-Chalking the Uffington White Horse

On the recent bank holiday Monday, the humans and I took a trip to the Uffington White Horse:

The area has a wonderful view and some interesting markers:

We were early for our appointments, so we took some time to wander about and enjoy being outside:

But we were there for a very specific purpose, which ran contrary to this sign:

Ignoring this directive, we collected our supplies and made our way onto the horse itself to aid with its preservation:

Volunteers help to re-chalk the horse twice a year, and we did our bit. It was lots of fun, but also quite hard work.
