I’m riding down from Dorking via Downs link and SDW to Felpham and want to avoid the A29 and boggy tracks. Can anyone recommend a decent route down from Houghton, either road or off-road?

Thanks
Rich

If you look on opencyclemap, there is an an obvious route from Gumber Bothy (near Bignor Hill if you continue on the SDW West of Houghton) to Slindon>Fontwell>Barnham>Felpham. May be an option but depends how clean you wish to keep.

Or from Whiteways roundabout you could go up and across through Rewell Wood (incl. some nice singletrack if you wished) down to Shellbridge Road>Yapton Lane>Bilsham Road for a more road orientated route.

Thanks. Is that the Roman road, Stane St? Which is the least boggy way (other than road)?
