This is classic South Downs Way riding; white, chalky doubletracks, testing climbs and expansive views that help you forget about the burning in your legs!

This climb or descent is steepest at 19%, but only for a short stretch before easing off at the top if you're on the way up. Take a breather at the top to enjoy the views.

Not as steep as some sections up to the South Downs Way but when you get to the top it is worth every fast heart beating moment and the decent is exilerating!
