From there we will head towards Ditchling Beacon where we will stop and take in the stunning views. Then we turn left and head on some superb descents through meadow and gravel.

There will be a mixture of terrain as we negotiate through the woods and meadowland. Gravel, chalk, grass, some tarmac and tree roots.
