Overview

We leave from outside the school, cross the old railway line and ascend Chillis Hill heading for Colworth Down.  We then turn north by Staple Ash Farm towards the SDW, taking a route that brings us out at Cocking Down, following the SDW down and up the other side of the valley. Leaving the SDW at the tumulus and cross dyke we enter the woods to go south back to Singleton via the New Lipchis Way and Levin Down.
