WARNING!

If you will be approaching this annual event from the west, somewhere you will have to cross the route of the London - Brighton cycle-ride. This means THEY will close all the roads affected off to motor vehicles - a friend reported the signs are out this morning.
That means if you are planning on joining/crossing that route at Turners Hill as I do, think again. Initial suggestion - go south on the A23 to the Bolney underpass and head east there, but consult your map before making that decision.
I really must say this closing of roads takes scant regard of those HAVING to cross that route that morning. Another friend lives at Smallfield, down a long cul-de-sac off the cycle route, and is a shift-worker at Gatwick Airport, west of it. He has no choice at shift-start time yet when he asked his options they merely shrug their shoulders, saying park a mile away off the route. Half an hours walk at 6am isn't his choice.....
