Ford on footpath Rotherfield 51 The otherwise excellent East Sussex interactive rights of way map marks this with a bridge, so does the OS map. There was no sign here of there ever being a bridge. Perhaps it lurks in the undergrowth a little further up the stream?

Gill stream junction It is rather hard to get a sense of scale here, but the fallen tree on the right is of some size. The main gill stream comes down from the right and is joined by a side stream falling over a substantial seam of sandstone.
