I parked in the free Forestry Commission car park at Halls Hill, Kiln lane, Buriton and walked along the South Downs Way. A bridleway lead through Coulter Dean nature reserve and at the top of this a track left took me to the field edge. By a large beech tree there was a hole in the fence that lead out to the summit field. This was stubble and so could be bagged. | Sprog | 31/12/2014 |
