Looking across from the western embankment towards the Bluebell Ardingly Spur sidings. The car gives an impression of scale. This gap is probably the biggest single engineering challenge on the branch.

Looking directly east across the gap stock in the sidings can just be seen through the branches.

Turning round and looking west, the first small section of the western embankment is a small wooded copse, which has been partially cleared.

Having walked only a short distance this view looks east back through the copse. You can still just see the red colour of a coach in the sidings.

Looking west from the same spot it can be seen that significant effort has been made to clear the trackbed as it extends west towards Ardingly.

After another short distance an access from the road enters from the north and crosses the trackbed. See next picture.

The access from the road passes directly across the trackbed and enters private land to the south of the line through this gate. This would be a farm crossing if the line were in use.

This view looks back east from the farm crossing towards the copse at the end of the embankment.

Looking west from the farm crossing the trackbed enters a shallow cutting and the surface starts to get muddy.

The next point of reference is a house on the northern side of the cutting, this view looking west past the house.

A small amount of material appears to have been deposited in the cutting at this point, although there is still a wide track. Unfortunately the drainage in this area is no longer functioning and there are deep pools of water extending the width of the cutting. It is not possible to pass through this area in ordinary footware as the mud and water is too deep.

This view looks east from just beyond the house. A pile of waste material is on the left. This picture gives a slightly false impression; the surface is more wet than it appears.
