Overview

A walk on the South Downs on the border of Brighton & Hove and East Sussex.  We start by descending SE in the direction of Peacehaven, before turning NE to a picnic lunch stop in Rodmell.  After lunch we climb up to join the South Downs Way and then gradually climb up NW along this to meet Jugg's Road and then follow this SW back to our start point.
