Overview

A circular walk from Hassocks heading out towards Hurstpierpoint, walking around the base Wolstonbury Hill, with a short comfort break. Continuing on through Pyecombe Golf club then to Jack & Jill Windmills for lunch, there may be a coffee/ cake van.

Heading back to Hassocks via the Cinder Path with refreshments at the Hassocks Hotel Pub, for those who wish, to finish off the walk.

Some areas are quite waterlogged and boggy, but I will do my best to avoid a much as possible.  I would appreciate the support of someone at the back of the walk, to keep the group together.

There is plenty of off street parking, I have spaces on my drive in adjacent Semley Road if you ask nicely.
