Introduction

This ebook is intended to give you easy to follow walks, with interesting and often stunning views, and hopefully not one that gets you lost in the first 20 minutes. By using a combination of finger posts, way marks, compass directions and map references getting lost will not be an option. For those not familiar with finger posts and way marks, these are directional sign posts put up in this case by West Sussex County Council or The South Downs National Park authority.
