The weather was not brilliant, and as we arrived in the car park started a very heavy downpour, however as there were clear patches in the sky as well as not being too cold, we chose to get out and brave it, with rain macs ready.
The first section was back up tot eh south downs way, alongside the woods and the turnip field... although much slippery and muddy compared to last week.
Once on the south downs way it was back to the A29 across the open fields, and down a chalk track on the other side.
The path continued all the way down to the river Arun, and an overly designed and constructed bridge ... we crossed over to the "wrong" side of the river and continued around on the river bank to the village around Amberley train station. A strange bit of map reading to translate the path that leaves from what appears to be the middle of the main road bridge, and we were on on the other side of the road heading south along the east bank of the river.
Two more bridges ... the first a replacement made by the Gurkas - a suspension bridge over a feeder stream. and the second a road bridge to nowhere across the Arun again, where we picked up the edge of the big Arundel estate. I suspect in other days this bridge joined this road to the one we had left earlier.
