Overview

After exploring the Dyke we will head south to walk briefly beside the A27 before climbing up to Southwick Hill. The walk continues to Beeding Hill, partly along the Monarch’s Way, before returning along the South Downs Way, probably with a small excursion to the north to gain some interesting views. Please bring a picnic lunch and text the leader beforehand to indicate that you will be attending.  If is a hot day we will stop for optional ice creams or cold drinks during the afternoon.
