Chiddingly is getting overgrown

A favourite starting point for where the Wealden Way and the Vanguard Way meet at the car park near Chiddingly Church car park. There were options to go in different directions however we replicated a circular walk completed a couple months back (see April 15th 2012) , but in the opposite direction.
The only hazardous experience was battling our way through areas that a month or so ago, were easily accessible, but now looking lush with various vegetation which were at times intent on preventing us from accessing certain secluded paths.
The weather didn't look too threatening (according to the forecast) however aware that cloud density was increasing whilst on our 2 hour hike around the fields and lanes around Chiddingly. Most noticeable was the amount of honeysuckle growing through the hedgerows. The water under the Old Stream Bridge was in full flow and the hammer pond next to it looking a little deeper than the last time we visited.
Back to the car park in Chiddingly. around 6 miles completed and time for lunch.

An East Dean walk in the mist

Realised that I hadn't put on record that a few of us managed to get a circuit from Butts Brow to East Dean and back on top to the Golf Course last Wednesday.
The only reason I had not made a big deal about it was because we were mainly walking up in the clouds and didn't see much sunshine.
No photos were taken so a bit of a short report on this one, but a very surreal experience as the atmosphere
The highlight was getting down to East Dean Market and making a purchase of a tasty little pasty.
We did the round walk in around 3hours... not a big rush for around 8 miles.... (or as recorded on the GPS... 11km?)
