Another walk with a late start. The wedding celebrations at Arundel were petering out by about 3 so I drove up the A280 and A24 towards the South Downs. There is a carpark off the A24 where the South Downs Way crosses it. The easiest way to find it is to drive all the way to the roundabout and right on the A283 into Washington then right down the yellow road to the unsignposted turn for it. After that a very pleasant stroll leads up to the trig point.  Aft6er coming this far it would have been a come not to carry on to the beautiful copse of beech trees on Chanctonbury Ring. The beech trees are a modern feature, planted in the 18th century but there was a temple here in Roman times. More recently tall tales abound of ghosts and witches. Be that as it may, it is beautiful round here and it would have been great to have a had a full day for a longer walk and a proper explore.
