Going for a gentle one with my friend next week and planning on doing the downs link, how easy is it to get to the train station at the other end? And secondly, does anybody have the postcodes for the start/carparks or can show me on a map? Google hasn't worked in my favour on this one!

Many thanks

    use streetmap to convert map locations to the nearest postcode.

    at te bottom of the map, it says something like "click here to convert to co-ordinates"

    What's wrong with OS coordinates ?

    have a look at the ridewithgps site, use the OSM (open street map cycle) setting and hey presto! All will be revealed

    This is the car park I've used in the past.

    the nearest post code is GU5 9BQ

    The train station is in Shoreham itself, not hard to find. I seem to remember you have to catch a train to havant and then another to Guildford. Although it's only 58km and flat as a pancake so it's easy to do there and back.
