29 Jul 2023The route was great; lots of flat, easy land, a few hills but nothing taxing. The website & its navigation could be better, not terribly intuitive and a little clunky at times.

02 Mar 2022Walked from Woodingdean to Saltdean in the fog on 1st March. The walk is through residential streets at both ends with a surprisingly quiet section over the Downs in between.
The Downland paths were quite well defined, though there was a short section where I was following hoof prints in the grass due to the fog.
The chalky paths were quite slippery after overnight rain and there were some muddy sections, visibility was low in the fog, but Sat Nav kept me on the right track. Only one gate along the route, no stiles. The whole route is 6.5 km, there are no facilities along the way other than at the start and finish.
