After the failure of the walk on the 22nd I set out on a similarly warm day to get to the trig point at Black Cap and to return.
I reasoned that I had more chance of making it by cutting out the 2 mile drop and subsequent ascent.
armed with a bottle of energy drink (0.5 litres) I set off and quickly passed by Ditchling Beacon and carried on to the trig point withoutany problems.
After a brief rest to take pictures I returned and noted that I was only feeling the effects of the walk just before reaching the car, which feels like I have laid the ghost of the 22nd to rest.
Total distance covered 9.35 miles
Here are the pictures from the walk.
