The South Downs Way looking towards Amberley Mount

Amberley Mount looms high above the lovely village of Amberley, dropping steeply down to the River Arun, which is still tidal even this far inland - this means that you are dropping down almost to sea level. The South Downs Way swoops down into the Arun Valley from Bury Hill, from where this photo was taken.

It's a fantastic descent for mountain bikers, especially those like the biker in the photo who was taking part in the annual British Heart Foundation sponsored cycle along the whole of the South Downs Way . That's 100 miles from Winchester to Eastbourne.

But it's a hard climb back onto the South Downs Way on the other side of the valley too!
