Overview

Since our last attempt attracted a very, erm, exclusive group due to the poor weather, another chance to enjoy this route.

A South Downs walk exploring fields and woods, with a steep climb taking us to the old Roman Road (Stane Street). After a cervisiam or two, more fields and hills to take us to the pretty town of Arundel. Fast pace. Bring a packed lunch. Pub stop in afternoon, and at the end.

Terrain: Hills, downs

Travel: Take 9:35 from London Victoria (9:42 Clapham Junction, 9:53 East Croydon), arr. Pulborough 10:52. Buy return to Arundel.

Last time we finished well before 5pm but that was a small group, and the pub stop was closed due to the coronation. 5-6pm more likely. Arundel has lovely pubs that also do fancy coffee/tea.
