| Parked at the north end of the restricted Byway (SU 89121 30711). Followed byway to a fork (SU 89094 30199)and ducked through the wood rail fence (being careful not to touch the fence as it looked like it would disintegrate at the merest caress). The top is on a well maintained garden area which is more or less out of sight of the house. | DC11main | 02/01/2023 |

| Hill run again from Marley Common with L, first down then up this lovely tarmac lane with its sudden extensive views across to the South Downs, from the hairpins bend with its viewing seat.

| Every tree is like a work of art. L's comment on a beautiful autumnal morning hour loop for fresh air before a day on the computer back at Whitehanger. Kept out of strictly private grounds ( as opposed to just private). 4pm back out again for last hour of sinking sun through the woods on a different leafy loop again skirting the summit. As we scuttled back to indoor warmth as temperatures fell with a long night ahead we reflected how hardy and in tune with nature our Mesolithic hunter gatherer ancestors were in surviving in the outdoors ,including around here ( interest inspired by a current binge of watching Time Team) | Chris Pearson | 12/11/2017 |
