We head due south from Midhurst and spend almost the whole day in the national park crossing the South Downs Way halfway. Sandy heath and woodland in the morning, then downs and woods in the afternoon culminating in the ruins of Boxgrove Priory. Tonight once again we are split between 2 halls.

We stayed here 2 years ago, and decided to delay this morning's start so that we could join their Sunday morning service before heading south.
