Join Nelly and Stuart on almost the longest day for a traffic free lesure ride up the downslink.
Setting off from shoreham we will head to the downslink, and old disused railway line. Cycling north with the river Adur besides us we will enjoy the views of the Shoreham airport and Lancing Chapel. Peddling deeper into the countryside we pass and abandoned cement works. Arriving at Bramber we will spend few minutes to visit the old ruins of the castle before we head back.
Once again on the downs link we will stop at a pub just outside of Shoreham for some food.
With a short ride back to our start point the event will end.
