Parked at Duncton Viewpoint car park. Track through the wood not obvious, but spotted it from the road. Pleasant woodland track, then along the main path around the quarry edge, another woodland track going S, then around the field edge to the WWII monument. Summit just inside the wood.LizH15/08/2023

From the chapel to the south. A poignant reminder that so far in aviation the Hill has yet to lose a contest with an aircraft!tim74730/01/2023

Branched off the South Downs Way and headed through the woods. Summit is indeterminate but definitely claimed via the head height rule. Walked to Amberley via the Monarch's Way and only saw four other people in two hours - who says the South Downs are crowded? This was my final Hump in section 42.Richard19/06/2021

With Rosaleen. Rain off/rain on/rain off/rain on, all day. From Bignor Hill car park: Farm Hill, Barlavington Down, Littleton Downmazz15/05/2021
Parked at Duncton viewpoint. Followed paths around a quarry and through woods. A little bit of the South Downs way and byways through woods to the high point marked by flint cairn and memorial to crew of Lancaster that crashed during WWII. Beautiful sunny day before heading back to watch HRH Prince Philip's funeral.Buck17/04/2021
From the S. Parked behind well house in wide entrance of track leading up to church at SU 9429 1375 - Up bridleway to small ridge of earth that lies just inside wood & behind the flint cairn & RAF memorial. (S)gerrybowes14/04/2021

Approached from Duncton viewpoint following paths skirting quarry through woods on scarp slope. High point marked by flint cairn and adjacent memorial to crew of Lancaster that crashed during WWII killing all on board. Good views to Isle of Wight and east along the downs.Pete West15/01/2019

From the chapel to the south. Another hill with a memorial to the crew of a crashed plane. Utter carnage on British hills during the war it seems. Ventured into the wood but impossible to identify an obvious high point.Herbert Anchovy12/09/2018

Jenx and Bryher. Longish walk through woods to emerge at the top and views to the coast. Good parking point on A285, off road path then pleasant RoW to summit.nordicstar13/05/2018

10 ascents of the Downs over 7 hrs working our way along zig zagging up and down from Cocking car park to Grafham and back (no summmit today). With L and Betty the Jack Russell. Good amount of up training gearing up for Langdale OMM next month. nicely sheltered in the woods during heavy showers except for the last hour of torrential downpour and 40 mph winds . Strangely exhilarating as we ran through it. Meanwhile Hurricane Irma was battering Florida. .Chris Pearson10/09/2017
