Starting from CSS,
straight into Merstham on A23, go past Feathers PH on sharp LH bend
Left turn down school hill,
First R Nutfield road
Stay on this road, up church hill,
Cross over A25 and descend hill
Stay on this road till T junct.
turn right
S over RABout
continue till traffic lights, S over,
continue till T junc
Left turn,
down hill to RAB,
3rd exit,
1st left into old hollow and follow till end of road,
Left turn
Ascend up long drag passed Tulleys farm till next juct, Y shaped junc,
Left turn and proceed to Xroads,
right turn,
down hill , SO RAbout,
stay on this road for ages! go passed wakehurst, ardingly showground, ardingly, and lindfield.
head toward haywards heath.
At RAB 3rd exit (ithink)
A few long stretches of undulating road should see you approaching village of ditchling.
curse your way up the hill
big grin along the descent at the top.
Beware L turn onto a27
descend like a maniac 50mph- try to set off speed camera!
Right at traffic lights,
SO to brighton.
Take a map to be sure.
Do you remember the mad dash we had going down on the summer CR? We were really shifting after we got to turners hill.

Sorry Carl, not I

Easiest way is probably to photocopy a bit of the relevent OS map and carry a bit of folded A4 in your pocket.

You could use [url]http://www.gmap-pedometer.com[/url] to trace the route but shrinking it to print would probably make it pretty unreadable.

Think this is the route mentioned... although google won't route down the "farm track" near ditchling:-
