Overnight _ Puttenham Barn Bunkhouse

This is a fun little ride following the South Downs Link from Shoreham by Sea, mostly off road on cinder, hard-pack, smooth-ish surfaces with one or two sections that are a little more bumpy (but perfectly ok for a gravel set up - I used 32mm wide tyres), only one significant up hill. The final section is very sandy and can be difficult to ride so you might want to adjust the route to use available roads. The reward is a lovely bunkhouse with simple and clean dorms, incredibly good value, super nice hosts (volunteers), a secure bike shed, a kitchen, and a splendid pub within walking distance. One of my favourite get away nights when its looking a bit chilly out and I don't fancy my usual bivi and sleeping bag set up. The route posted is my return journey back to Shoreham as I got a bit lost on my approach....
