Went out to test the old body climbing up past the Long Man at Wilmington – a steep ascent.

Iren accompanied me halfway up the climb then waited whilst I went for the steeper bits.

We walked alongside the road from the car park to the path leading towards the chalk figure.

we then walked up to the foot of the man then headed right.

Halfway along the path Iren decided to stop and wait for me, I carried on to the turning left.

Then I went up the steep bit, oh how I love heavy breathing and shin splints NOT.

Once the climb eased off I carried on over the top to see the great views looking across to Seaford.

I took a couple of pictures then turned back but took the track to the left of the way I came up

When the tracks joined back I descended back to Iren.

Finally we came down to the road and returned to the car park.

Here is Iren’s walk:

02/03/2014 – Across town, on the new bypass, Plummerden Lane, Ardingly and home.

Sunday, March 2nd, 2014

Yes Fatso has got the bike out !!!

And it bloody near killed me, 2 months of no riding have taken their toll 🙁

Rode up to the A272 and across town

Took the ditchling Road to the Rocky Lane roundabout then turned onto the  new bypass and cut across the to Birch

Rode then to Walstead, and turned for Plummerden Lane

Went round the lane and headed for Ardingly, that hill into the village sapped my legs.

Went down College Road and cut across to Borde Hill

Came down the Balcombe Road, diverted into Sainsburys before returning home on Perrymount Road.
