I have looked at the route on the Lewes AC WWW site, and tried to compare this with an OS map, and have now run most of the route (in bits).
I am cunfused as to what happens post Ashcombe bottom - there seem to be two routes up to Blackcap, one up a fairly narrow and very steep hill to a small gate, the other not so steep (although slight steep bit at start) and ending in larger gate.
First: which of the two routes is it? Second, any advice on pacing, as the "Steep climb" is close to 7.5 miles, and the start is also fairly steep.
Ta!
