No different to this time; we parked up at Littleton Farm (just off the A285 which runs south of Petworth) and started walking east .. urged on by huge quantities of runners. We hadn't realised that it was the South Downs Marathon that day. So the first few miles were busy, what with cyclists and other runners and walkers coming in the other direction.
Look at that view.
We walked non stop for over 6 miles, before we finally stopped for chocolate biscuits just south of Cocking. Here is Honor with her Dad starting off again up to the top of Didling Hill.
Along the next stretch we found the most gigantic daisies and dandelions. The dandelions were so well structured that they were impossible to blow away.
By 1.30pm we were coming up to final 10 mile mark at Treyford Hill where we branched off right from the South Downs Way and walked down to the village of Treyford where we'd parked a second car. After a 5 minute drive, we were back at the Elsted Inn for another delicious lunch.
We'll be starting our next walk close by to Amberley Castle next time which puts us pretty much half way along the South Downs way. Half way through the year, half way through the walk.
