For this day out I headed from the Aldrington Station area and cut across to Benfield Valley Nature Reserve. Up a short but steep hill to Foredown and over the A27. Up here I saw the birds in the field you can see in the video. Started down the main path towards the Dyke but it was fairly busy as it was the weekend.

So doubled back and explored down the path running along the top of the A27, quite close at times. This path was had a lot less foot fall. It takes you past some farm buildings that don’t clearly show the route but the obvious one is usually right. There are a few underpass’ that you can use to cut back to town along the route but I stayed on the path until the tunnel.

At the tunnel you can climb another short but steep hill that takes you up onto the Downs. Once that road is underground you suddenly realise how loud it is! Quite a feature round the outskirts of town. Must explore more up in that area.

From there I walked downhill all the way to Portslade and then jumped on the bus back to town.
