Wake up early and see the sun rise. The car park at ditching beacon is fairly empty in the summer. But wrap up warm, it’s cold even in summer before the suns up.

Car park is usually busy. Ice cream van is there all year. You can park down the village and walk up - great lungs buster.

Be wary of cyclists on the South Downs Way. Some of them can be aggressively uncaring of walkers
