The aim was to drive up Ditchling beacon, pub lunch, then a circuitous route back along the seafront and north inland along as interesting roads as we could find.
The Ditchling road itself was a little slow, the day before a cycle race had a great number of practicing cyclists and other people making the best of the weather. A fine hill climb none the less and then a short blast along the top before meeting the A27, then back inland through the downs to the Shepherd and Dog at Fulking for lunch.
A Short clip up the hill and across the top of the downs; Unfortunately it looks like a motorcyclist on the way down had come off; no sign of him other than his bike on the verge and Police from an unmarked car waving us past the scene.

The route back inland Herstmonceux, Hailsham, Burwash, Ticehurst, Goudhurst, Marden then home to Maidstone. These final northbound roads, treelined, empty, and perfect for interesting views and driving.
Route
Google embedding tends to introduce shortcuts, while the route is approximately correct the return journey was along the sea front from Shreham to Seaford before heading back in land then some great roads almost directly north and only visible on the direct route link:
