Patcham circular
Circular walk from Patcham Place bus stop
Note that to follow the bridleway up Sweet Hill, I had to climb over a metal gate, which was padlocked. Excellent walk with varied downland and woodland scenery.

Wonderful walk on a perfect day. Done on a day trip from Sussex, via hovercraft. I was following up a suggested walk from 'Waitrose Weekend'. Having arrived at Bembridge, you can get the #8 bus back to Ryde Esplanade, or continue by the same bus route to Sandown, and travel back to Ryde on the #2 or #3.

Good walk for a cold dry Spring day, as parts of the walk that might often be boggy were easy to traverse.

Did this walk on a beautiful September day, after having read an article by Oliver Smith on a similar walk in 'Waitrose Weekend' (5/9/24): tinyl.io/BU2H . This should be pretty well identical to his walk as described, except that I took a brief diversion to see Guildford Castle on the way out. There

Walk between the 'School' bus stop in Sayers Common and the 'London Road' bus stop in Burgess Hill. Note that in planning a route you might be shown a more direct way via the Berrylands Farm estate—however, I tried that, and the path shown crossing the A23 had been closed off!

Quite strenuous (hilly and some rough flint paths), but a great walk. Note that some of the paths across fields towards the end of the walk are hard to spot!

A most beautiful Ashdown Forest walk, although in mid-October the paths wet, and slippery and boggy in places. Starts and ends at The Roebuck bus stop on Metrobus #270 route.

A short walk to fit buses from the London Road stop. Great views of the downs, and easy walking on good paths.

A pleasant route from Royal Holloway to Egham rail station that completely avoids main roads, and has a great section of pebbled path between fields en route,

A tour based on one completed by another member a few days previously - but I can't find it to give credit! It is probably rated 'Intermediate' because of the steep steps in outward part of the tour (through woodland). On the return from Alfriston there are paths either side of the river. The one

Great walk along the Langstone Harbour coast via the Puffing Billy Trail. Note that I left that trail towards its end to follow the coast more closely on a footpath. The very last footpath I used from Warren Close to Ferry Road was rather narrow and overgrown, and if I did the walk again I would go
