while you can SEE the bike path along the Adur, all gates offering a potential route to it are padlocked.
Downs Link was Downs Link
That's odd, done that loads of times and never seen a locked gate. Did you turn left at the A road? (There is a path behind the bush that runs parallel so you don't have to go on the road, just cross it).

Bailed at Guildford, which is becoming the bail point d’V5k.
Brighton up to Ditchling Beacon was okay, but the SDW west was a bit torrid with the equipment at hand. Lighter, less loaded bike and no south-westerly would have been nicer. It’s very pretty tho. If I had one point to make about this as a transfer to the Downs Link is that -at some point- you’re gonna be on that Shoreham bypass because while you can SEE the bike path along the Adur, all gates offering a potential route to it are padlocked.
Downs Link was Downs Link - like a heist movie where they substitute a loop in the CCTV system, except trees and dog walkers - I don’t think I’m doing that one again.
A few downed trees too, so take yer Leatherman if doing this route.
