Day 10: Tangmere to Goring
This is our longest walk this year but generally easy going; some slight hills but not too steep. It splits into 4 sections of about 5 miles each. Much of the walk goes through woods in the earlier sections. Between Slindon and Arundel, Rewell Wood can be confusing and easy to get lost in. There is field walking later on, be careful of barbed wire lying on the ground. There is no phone signal in Slindon. The route goes through Arundel, which is a historic and beautiful town, with prayers at the Cathedral. After Angmering Park there is a very fast road crossing on the A280 and marshals will be used at this point. After that we go up and over Highdown Hill, and we have to pass through an area where heavy vehicles are marshalled - keep to the segregated path and make sure you are visible. We immediately cross Titnore Lane - a minor road with fast traffic, just be patient and stay alive. Goring is part of the Worthing conurbation, so there is quite a bit of street walking before the railway bridge that takes you to the church where we're staying.
