	The South Downs Way
		The South Downs Way is the UK's 1st national trail to be a long distance bridle way.
		This early part of the bridle way is well used by locals and tourists alike, out for an afternoon in the sun, and we drew a number of comments and chatted to passing M. Bikers including one couple on a tandem.
		Re-fueled I hit the SDW after an hour or so, another unending uphill and a strange lack of way marks were a little disconcerting, but with trusty guide book and rapidly drying boots I made it up Bignor Hill and along to Stane street Roman Road.

		A radical shift in the alignment of the Way would also have negated the effort and expense that has already been put into the creation of a path in the vicinity of Old Winchester Hill, an area that is particularly attractive to users of the Way and very characteristic of the South Downs.
		3.2 For practical purposes, therefore, consideration of a rou te for the South Downs Way is restricted to an area bounded in the north by the village of Warnford and in the south by the village of Exton.
		All four owners have objected to the proposal; they argue that the South Downs Way would be detrimental to their privacy and security, with increased problems from thoughtless car drivers parking their vehicles across entrances.

	The South Downs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The South Downs Way, a long distance walk, which I have walked several times, runs mainly along the northern scarp, but there are many other beautiful and interesting places to see.
		The pleasures of the Downs lie in the scenery, which includes views over the Weald and of woods and farms in the beautifully shaped dry valleys.
		There are several books describing the South Downs Way but this, while well worth doing, misses a lot of the beautiful parts of the Downs and does not help you to return to your starting place by a different route.

	South Downs way
		In 1995 a South Downs Way Officer was appointed and employed by the SDCB to oversee the management of the route within the Sussex Downs AONB, and during this period, several improvements to the route were made.
		The South Downs Way is potentially well served by public transport, with major railway stations at either end, and crossed at intervals by arterial roads and railway lines, but information on these services needs to be more co-ordinated and distribution needs to be improved (see also section 8.3 on Provision of Information).
		The South Downs Way has the potential to attract a wider variety of visitors than some other routes, because of its status as a bridleway, which allows use by horse riders and cyclists, and also because of the relatively level nature of the path for considerable distances, allowing all abilities to use it.

		I walked the South Downs Way in bits and pieces from October 2002 through February 2003, mostly on Saturdays.
		The National Trail Guide for the South Downs Way was extremely helpful for its trail descriptions and detailed maps, but I also had to master the bus and rail websites—supplemented with paper schedules and verbal queries—to figure out my routes and connections.
		Most of the time the views were stupendous, typically including the sweep of the downs, the dramatic drop of the escarpment, the checkerboard of farmland in the Weald, the periodic smudge of a city, and the blue ocean hugging the horizon.

	the ORIGINAL South Downs Way Randonnée (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		We were already keen off-road cyclists, riding large sections of the South Downs Way in order to get fit, so it seemed like a natural challenge for us, and the obvious thing to do.
		A warm spring day gave way to rain and windy conditions in the afternoon, but this failed to dismount the riders, and so it was that our event became a small piece of cycling history, and the stuff of legend, well, almost!
