Ford on footpath Rotherfield 3b The otherwise excellent East Sussex interactive rights of way map marks this with a bridge. There was no sign of any bridge being here in the recent past. Fortunately the stream is narrow enough to jump on the left.

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.
