Day trip across scenic forests, lush rolling hills down towards the Sea side town of Brighton.

The route follows the annual London to Brighton charity classic.

Ditchling hill is the last climb of a testing itinerary before descending into Brighton renowned for the its pebble beach, pier and brick-paved Lanes 

An alternative and shorter excursion ventures out to Arundel with its  restored and remodelled medieval castle in West Sussex.

Another variant is a loop to the market town of Horsham via the Surrey hills.
