South Downs Way
- At point no.12 don't try to tunnel under the road, we meant to say 'go across the A24 road' not under it. It is a nasty crossing, so we advise using the alternative route signposted at GR105/119 via Washington village.
- There is a new bridge over the A26 road (point 17/18) GR432/056. Bear right after crossing the river Ouse and railway line, at Itford farm, then bear L over the new bridge and then rejoin the old route the other side of the A26.
- There is a new water tap at Amberley (TQ 024/124) and there's also one at the YHA on Truleigh Hill (TQ 220/105).
