Description
A more precise version of PyeWoo One that irons out the problems, mainly caused by misleading OS maps. It also makes three subtle changes using well used paths through publicly accessible land.
Working from Pyecombe to Woodingdean:
First non essential change parallel to Ditchling Road gives better views (east to Firle Beacon then south west to the sea).
Second is parallel to the tarmac lane but through a field then a ribbon of woodland.
Third avoids the steep and potentially slippery climb just east of Stanmer Village, reduces the max gradient and has better views of Stanmer House and the village.
It keeps to the spirit of PyeWoo One and so still uses the bike-friendly bridleway beside the B2123 / Falmer Road. Which is safe and has great views but is not screened from fast traffic which may be busy.
There are multiple mid-route chances to rest, eat, and catch a bus or train, either in Stanmer Village, the Uni of Sussex campus or Falmer Village, see attached map. The tearoom in Stanmer and the pub in Falmer are both mentioned in the reviews of PyeWoo One and Stanmer has public loos. There are too many cafes on the uni campus to mention, the three pink pins show food shops each within a cluster of eating places. Overnight walkers could use the 24 hour pizza vending machine by the middle pin

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
