Overview

A circular walk from Midhurst to Graffham via Heyshott and the South Downs Way, returning via Little London and New Lipchis Way.  Maps OL08 and OL10.  A fairly steep ascent from Heyshott onto the SDW, and then a steepish descent into Graffham.  Otherwise, generally level terrain, sandy in parts and a bit muddy in others, through woods and across heathland.
