Looks like the Downs Link between CH and Southwater will be out of action for much of May & June, maybe even into July depending how the work progresses. There's no good off road alternative route, Two Mile Ash Road and Bonfire Hill being the least worst option IMO.
On a more positive note this will cross off one of the few remaining sections between the A281 and Partridge Green that are yet to be upgraded to the packed gravel used along the West Sussex section of the route (better than nothing!)
