Route: From the meadow near the Motor Road approach to the old Lewes Race Course near Wallands School, running first downhill, round a marker and then back, past the start, to climb onto the ridge of the Downs. Along some narrow paths past Mount Harry, Blackcap and onto Plumpton Plain. Descending a spur to the south and then up the other side before a level run followed by another descent into trees and a slow and muddy climb out of Aschombe Bottom before returning on a line just to the north of the outward route.
Conditions: Sunny and surprisingly warm for October.
Pub: No pub! Lunch chez Steve and Alison and then later, on the way home, a Black Star pale ale at the Euston Tap.
