A visitor to Truleigh Hill seems to have been impressed (though it isn’t entirely clear — the final stanza, highlighted in blue, is especially enigmatic).
Miscommunication from SDNPA
“There are several important points that we would like to highlight:
- Information about the closure cannot be found on the SDNPA website, even through a search;
- We have seen no evidence that the SDNPA want to engage with local businesses on a practical or proactive level, to promote them or work with them – this is a good example;
- Surely the the SDNPA should consider this their responsibility to inform those affected – local residents, visitors, businesses?
- The period of notice (6th March) was in any case far too short;
- The period of closure spans the Easter weekend (could be fairly busy on the Downs at this time). What do walkers do when they come across a barrier on the South Downs Way with no alternative signposted? Where would they have found out about this closure?”

Beetle Drive cancelled
The Family Beetle Drive scheduled for 2:30pm on Saturday 16 March has been cancelled. This is due partly to fairly low numbers and partly to the weather conditions.
