Rare chance to risk the wrath of the River Arun as we hike part of its flood plain, a delightful haven for wildlife. Amberley's castle broods in the distance but before journey's end we veer off and climb the South Downs the steep way - twice. Views towards the coast on what is at times a challenging walk. 600 metres elevation. Bring a packed lunch. Optional pub stop.
Travel: Take the 9:35 from London Victoria (9:42 Clapham Junction, 9:53 East Croydon), arr. 10:52 Pulborough.
Buy a return to Amberley.
