Gillian:- A great walk today, mostly on the Downs with far-reaching views, and the sea
glinting in the distance. Thirteen of us and Ben the dog set off in good
spirits from Lancing Ring, with the sun shining encouragingly. Eventually,
we descended to Steyning, and a deviation from the original planned route
took us to Bramber Castle, an ideal coffee stop, enabling us to explore the
historic sight. A glorious walk along the banks of the Adur river brought us
to our lunch stop at Small Dole. One highlight was seeing a pair of swans
with no fewer than 6 cygnets swimming proudly on the river. After lunch a
pleasant walk through autumn-tinted woodland led us to Truleigh Hill, the
steepest climb of the walk, but we were well rewarded with sweeping views
and a spell of easy walking as we descended once again to the Adur river
valley. One final climb, not so steep this time, returned us to the car
park. Thanks to Kay for a great walk and once again, lovely to see some new
faces.
