Tracking it Down
WORTHING TO HENFIELD VIA CISSBURY RING, WASHINGTON, ROCK, ASHURST AND THE ADUR Oh what a blessing to have a cold and frosty morning when we've had such a dreadful amount of rain. The mud forces one upwards but there is always the inevitable swamp to navigate to get there. The firmness under foot and clear skies make things so much more enjoyable. The snow covering also makes a familiar route different. The dressing in white, highlights the woods, crystallises the vegetation and intensifies the appearance and activity of the creatures. Cissbury Ring is the absolute highlight on the walk before a decent from the South Downs Way into the contrasting watery, deery mixed woodland. Worthing is under an hour by train from Burgess Hill via Brighton. A slightly lengthy warm-up is had from the station to the trailhead but it is straightforward. Turn right as you leave the station on Railway Approach and join Cross Street. Wait at the level crossing and go north on South Farm Road. Appreciate...
