Being Sussex, some hills are included, but nothing too extreme, however, we will keep a moderate pace, and plan to return to Haywards Heath by around 1530

<unashamed plug> Hello Will, don't forget the 'Park & Ride' setting out from Euston at 08:30 on Saturday too...as Helen says, spoilt for choice (although this one has several 'x' factors built in ie: me, mikee, cherry cake, a lack of direction, multiple ride leaders , a raffle...need I go on?)
