Do You Think He Wants To Go This Way? The northern side of the footbridge is blocked by a herd of inquisitive bullocks. The next ten minutes will require much shooing and being followed. On the footpath from the River Adur to Wyckham Farm.

Quick Lads, There's A Bloke With A Camera In Our Field Let's Follow Him This was fun crossing this field, having negotiated a herd of inquisitive bullocks blocking the footbridge I turned the corner and discovered another herd in the next field who were soon joined by a couple who had followed me from the footbridge. The walk across here involved a couple of minutes walking away from them followed by a few more walking towards them to shoo them away. This continued until they got bored and wandered back to the rest of the herd. The footpath itself links the River Adur with Wyckham Farm.

Downs Link bridge over River Adur Formerly a railway bridge. Curiously, this is one of two bridges near Henfield which straddle the '20th parallel' where the route crosses the Adur. Careful positioning is needed to get in the same square as the bulk of the bridge.
