| Great to have the route posted. Wanted to just share my experience. I cycle regularly, but not far. Usually 10 - 25 miles on the weekend, mostly on the road. I decided over the Easter hols to cycle the South Downs way in two parts from my home in Burgess Hill. The first half - Burgess Hill to Ditchling Beacon and then to Eastborne was really enjoyable. A good ride which didn't feel too taxing (I got the train back). The second half was much tougher. The route from Clayton windmills to Devil's Dyke and beyond includes some really tough off road hills with loose gravel. I ended up knackered and pulled off the way at Washington for a road ride back home. I'll try again another time - but just wanted to warn other road riders that off road is, in my opinion, about twice as hard as on road. | ||

| The South Downs Way is a must for anyone who loves riding! It has every element to contend with and every view you can possibly imagine. Do this route before you get too old or regret it forever! | ||
