From the sea up and over the Downs and back to the seaside. Some sections of Monarchs Way and South Downs Way also hidden wooded valleys and less frequented paths. The walk is based on previous walks that I have led but there has not been a recent recce; there may be some surprises

A Worthy Worthing Walk, Saturday 4th September 202110 walkers, 21 miles - leader Jerome Ripp
Another fine late summer day with paths now very dry. North from Worthing station through urban sprawl with some paths to reach the foothills of the Downs. Fine views across the Findon valley up to Cissbury Ring and later a short section of the Monarchs Way to reach the South Downs Way but immediately left it to explore Steyning Round Hill. A very steep climb took us back up towards Chanctonbury Ring, then down for lunch in the churchyard at Washington. A short section on the South Downs Way then some lovely rolling countryside heading south to the long Furlong and Clapham village. Many paths seemed to be rather overgrown and rarely used which meant that the wearers of shorts had the advantage of having their legs well massaged with nettles. More urban sprawl around Durrington and West Worthing completed the circuit and most unusually we did not have to sprint for the train.
