07 Feb 2022This was a round trip so I only completed the first 11km from Haywards Heath to Sheffield Forest before heading back. In addition to Borstal Boys review my comments are:
There are some steep slopes which were slippery after rain. Trail shoes would have been a better choice than running shoes!
This route seems to follow the Sussex Diamond Way, but I will check this at a later date. A description of the Nutley Lindfield section is at https://www.sussexborderpath.co.uk/sdwew03.pdf
In Lindfield there are buildings dating from the 1300's. Along the route is Heaven Farm which would be a good place to meet up with the rest of the family for tea.
Here is part of the route with photos https://www.komoot.com/tour/663405501?ref=wtd

30 Apr 2021On the ground the paths are obvious, well signposted and easy to follow. This is a rural route consisting primarily of field paths and forest tracks. Through Sheffield Forest you encounter wooded High Weald sandstone country which is attractive but comes with steep sided valleys (ghylls) cut by small streams. Not all the streams are crossed by footbridges. All dry when walked 30/04/2021, that won't be the case in the winter.
Sadly the tracing of the download route is not very accurate, this means the route is ambiguous around Lindfield church for instance, and in several other places. I'll try to upload a more accurate tracing because the route itself is good.
