Exactly 9 miles this time on a beautiful day's walk that took us from Lavington Common up onto the Downs, and back via Graffham Common.
This is the view from the spot where we stopped for lunch.

Time: 10.00am
Starting point: Car park at The Dover, grid ref TQ061064. Travelling east on the A27 from Arundel towards Worthing, just before you reach Hammerpot look for a large sign for Dover Lane on the left. Take this turn and follow the road past the farm to the end of the lane (just under half a mile). There's a car park in the woods on the right. From Worthing there's no right turn into Dover Lane, so travel west along the A27 past Hammerpot and look for a U-turn sign back to Worthing and Brighton, take this and then take the turn for Dover Lane as before.
This is a 12 mile walk I’m leading for the Sussex Pathfinders Rambling Club, but anyone can join us. N.B. There’s no pub stop on this walk.

Thanks to everyone who came along, I checked the distance and it turned out to be only 9.3 miles. Here are some photos.
Our first stop was here, where those of us who are more easily led astray succumbed to the temptations of the nearby ice-cream van.

Happy wanderers on the way to the pub. Notice how they're all ahead of me.

We’ll have the option of stopping at a pub on this walk.
