Arundel Pilgrimage 2015

Day 8: Lindfield to Uckfield

In the morning, we follow the Sussex Ouse Valley Way through woodland and open pasture. There is some road walking about a mile through Newick. In the morning we hope to have a drink stop by Sheffield Park Station of the Bluebell Line Railway where you may hear some of the steam engines. Another feature of the drink stop is that I have chosen it because it is on the Greenwich Meridian. We then walk alongside the River Ouse for the first time. After lunch in Newick, the landscape is similar to that in the morning until we join a country lane about a mile before the edge of Uckfield. The walk is through very pretty, rolling country with no big hills. Apart from just over a mile, there is no road walking. In the afternoon, we pass through an area known for large numbers of wild deer. Keep your eyes open, you may see some.
