The Sussex Diamond WayMidhurst W. Sussex to Heathfield, E. Sussex - 96 Km / 60 Miles, devised by the Sussex Area Ramblers Association.
Lindfield to HeathfieldTuesday 20 May 2008 - 21 MilesID20052008#17 Started walk. A late start, from Lindfield at 1300 after walking from Haywards Heath Railway Station. I have been very apprehensive of this route, as for some reason it is not on OS mapping and is also not waymarked, although appears on East and West Sussex County Websites. Some people think that it adds to the 'challenge' but it just makes for stressful 'which way now?' and 'I think we have gone the wrong way!' situations...anyhow, with a red hot compass, guide book and two skulls on the case (for once had a walking companion) we cracked it, although didn't finish till 2100, still averaging 2.5 mph. Beautiful and varied countryside, with a good critter count, it is certainly worth doing.
Crossing the Bluebell Raiway. Just missed a train coming through (Heard the whistle).
Pretty flowers at Kidborough Farm (then got lost!)
Weir at Sheffield Mill Farm
Unusual Turnstile, same location
South Downs in distance. Reference point for directions.
Goslings - so sweet!
Ashdown Forest near Duddleswell. Very pretty but the muppets in charge apparently consider waymarkers 'unsightly' - so apparently getting lost is less important to them. We only made it by being extremely vigilent and painstaking in our observations - not very relaxing.
Viaduct on the Uckfield line, near 'Sleeches' No more pictures for the rest - just busy routemarching! |
