Variation on the Linchmere Walk (No: 5).



1. Same start point as Walk 5, but start the other side of the road, keeping left to begin with, but then follow the paths swinging right and to the bottom of the incline. Walk a bit right along the bottom then follow the FP left up the hill, which the takes you to a minor road.
2. Straight over, following the main path, ignoring one straight on. The path bears right, and when you reach a bench, turn left down the hill.
3. At the bottom of the hill there are 5 FP’s, follow the one marked SBP (Sussex Border Path). This eventually takes a right turn, up a small hill, then you arrive at an X-road, with only a gate to the right.
4. The SBP goes straight on, but you turn left, and carry along a smart track until you reach another X-road and turn left. Stanley Farm is straight on, and for an alternative circuit – see below.
5. Down to the bottom of the hill, ignore a FP to your left, and carry on. Take the first FP to your right, which descends a steepish hill, and then turn right. Keep straight on, up the hill when you reach a minor road. Turn left, then right, and join the SBP to the right.
6. At the first X-road turn left, the SBP goes straight on, and when you reach a broad path turn left, and this should take you back to your car.

If you decide to go past Stanley Farm, keep going until you reach a T-junction, then turn left. This will take you past Newlands Cottage and to the road where you turn right, then take the first FP to the left. At the top of the incline turn left and just before the road, take the FP to the right. This leads to the X-road in Note 6 above, but here you go straight over.
