In TGO this month there was a long route for the Low and High Weald east and south of Burgess Hill.
I liked the look of this, especially as it would fit another piece in the South Downs Way jigsaw in very nicely for me, but the route at nearly 14 miles was a bit long for the day before I return to work.
Half an hour with the OS map was enough to cut off a bit of the walk, while saving it's key features, and the bag was packed ready for the day out.
It wasn't to be. The forecast wasn't good, and with high winds and heavy rain predicated for later I ate my packed lunch on the sofa and watched the clag form over the Downs, exactly as predicated at 2pm.
It'll be another week before I can get out, but hopefully we'll get the weather the route needs then.
A short walk along the beach at high tide had to do, the sea rough in the gale with heavy rollers driving all except the hardiest of gulls up onto the beach, strewn with storm debris.
