November 28th Steyning to Chanctonbury Ring

Apologies that this is really the 4th weekend of Nov - not really the third - but we are going for this date and this route:

Sunday November 28th Meet at 11am at the Bramber Castle roundabout just outside Steyning [Number 2A bus from Brighton at 9.45 gets into Steyning at ten to 11 - but some cars will be going so check in about lifts].

Route is a loop walk out to Chanctonbury Ring along the South Downs Way from Bramber Castle and then back to Bramber along base of downs - optional extension to Washington Village from Chanctonbury Ring for a drink - this loop is 7 miles.

Optional extension is to walk down to Shoreham station from Bramber - approx 4 miles addition. Transport can be bus + train for full route back to Shoreham - or bus for shorter loop to Steyning and back - or car for this too.
