Devils Dyke to Stanmer Park (24-01-09)
Nice loop this. We started from Hove Park, and the ride up to the Dyke along the old Dyke Railway line is easy. Mental shoot down inside the Dyke, then make your way to Wolstonbury Hill (go over or round Newtimber Hill if you like). The bridlepath traversing Wolstonbury Hill southern side is a mudfest in the wet.

Don't be put off by the slog up to Devil's Dyke: it ain't so bad and you're rewarded by a fast, albeit vaguely perilous (esp. in muddy/wet conditions), downhill skirting around the contour of the dyke.
ReplyDeleteSome tough up hill sections, i.e. Wolstonbury Hill (not for the feint hearted!) and one or two rivers of mud, that used to be cart tracks.
Bar the people slalom on busy days (weekends), the downhill through Stanmer Park is a goody, esp. as you blast out of the end of the woods onto the playing fields adjacent to the Lewes Road.
A good test of stamina.
