From where roads A29 and A24 meet 13 km (8 mi) north of Horsham (just south of Holmwood) turn south on A29. Drive 4.2 km (2.6 mi) and turn right onto B2126. Drive 3.0 km (1.9 mi) and turn left onto B2127. Follow this road 3.9 km (2.4 mi) to Ewhurst and turn right onto Shere Road. Drive this road 1.1 km (0.7 mi) and fork left onto Ride way, and drive this road 1.1 to Car Park #3 on your right hand side. Park here.
Start your walk by following the south-most path in a south and south-east direction, the 500 metres to the summit cairn.
Descend by reversing your ascent route, or you can make the hike a little longer by finding alternative routes back down.
This was the last planned hike of our week-end south of London, but unfortunately we mis-navigated a little and ended up on an other top than originally planned. Not a terrible mistake but unfortunate for baggers like me ☺.
As for the other hikes the last few weeks the camera wasn't playing with me and all I got was two photos from the whole hike.
