Jerusalem - Haslemere to Chichester by Kellie

Wow what an awesome walk! Thanks for sharing. Such incredibly beautiful scenery. The only comment is that Leazers Wood is no longer accessible - there is no public footpath. It is private woodland and there’s now a locked gate that prohibits access. Instead head east down the road to Black Down House and follow the public path past vineyards and fields and through Lower Calhams. It’s still beautiful and worth the extra few kms.

Thanks for publishing this, made the walk a lot easier as the discs are few & far between. A great challenge walk. Recommend lunch at the Green Tree at the 10 mile point.
