A view worth the climb. Be prepared for a steep uphill that keeps on going

it's beautiful but it seems it may have been overgrown through times. Now (May 2025), it is full of nettles, bramble, slipped banks and even fallen tree. So prepare to be lifting your bike. Very challenging for mountain bikers. I haven't seen that tree with roots out...either fallen or on slightly different route? There were machines to take care of fallen trees (past Arundel Park gate towards South Stoke)
