Bryan sledding down Cissbury Ring hill in Worthing, England
On 2 February 2009 heavy snow hit the town of Worthing and all of the south coast of England. Bryan and Karyn went out to Cissbury Ring hill to go sledding, but being from Texas, they did not have a real sled. Cissbury Ring:

I am again with the Osmo DJI camera filming another POV walk. Sit back and let me take the strain as I climb the steep hills at Cissbury, near Worthing, West Sussex as I search for the neolithic flint mines and the wild horses that graze there.

Cissbury Ring
Piece for clarinet, violin, cello and piano, composed by Gila (Gillian) Carcas:
One of the two Rings on the South Downs, Cissbury Ring, the largest hill fort in my home county of Sussex, is about sixty-five acres in size and has a history dating back over 5000 years. It is a place I often liked to visit and it has wonderful views of the sea only a few miles away.
This piece was commissioned in 1995 by South East Arts, Horsham District Arts Council and Horsham Music Circle for a premiere by the ensemble Gemini, which took place in November of that year. I used my imagination of the long history of the site, from the time of Neolithic farmers to what would have been impressive walls and ditches built in the Iron Age, to its crumbling into disuse but still with a clear presence, in constructing the music.
Musically there is a deliberate and gradual transformation to an open chord on E in the middle of the piece, a pitch which for me, with its connections to the bright key of E major, is full of light, before more notes are added back into the music evolving into a downward progression of melodies culminating in the repeated struck harmonics on the piano strings which also open the piece.
Cissbury Ring from the air
Cissbury Ring is a hill fort on the South Downs, in the borough of Worthing, and about 5 kilometres (3 mi) from its town centre, in the English county of West Sussex.
It is the largest hill fort in Sussex, the second largest in England and one of the largest in Britain and Europe overall, covering some 60 acres (24 hectares). The earthworks that form the fortifications were built around the beginning of the Middle Iron-Age possibly around 250 BC but abandoned in the period 50 BC - 50 AD.
Cissbury Ring is owned by the National Trust and is a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. It also lies within the area of the South Downs National Park.
The site has been given the status of Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its nationally rare unimproved chalk grassland.

Cissbury Ring Sledging - April 2008
A few clips of me and two rather daft friends attempting to sledge down some of the slopes on Cissbury Ring in West Sussex. Most of the time we end up in holes or something.
Walks in England: From Findon to the South Downs
I start my walk today from Findon in West Sussex and follow the Monarch's Way. I head past the old manor house, the local church and up on to the south downs. It is a beautiful autumn morning with blue skies. Perfect for walking.

The Magic Of Cissbury Ring
Cissbury Ring is a hill fort on the South Downs, in the borough of Worthing, England, and about 5 kilometers (3 mi) from its town center, in the county of West Sussex. It is the largest hill fort in Sussex, the second largest in England and one of the largest in Europe overall, covering some 60 acres (24 hectares).[2] The earthworks that form the fortifications were built around the beginning of the Middle Iron-Age possibly around 250 BC[3] but abandoned in the period 50 BC - 50 AD.
The site of the fort contains a Neolithic mine, one of the first flint mines in Britain. Around 200 shafts were dug into Cissbury hill over around 900 years of use. Shafts were up to 12 metres (39 ft) deep with 7 metres (23 ft) diameters at the surface. Up to eight galleries extended outwards from the bottoms of the shafts, often interconnecting with one another.
Several Bronze Age barrows have been found just outside Cissbury Ring. In the Romano-British period, farmers settled within the ramparts of the hill fort.[3] It has been suggested[by whom?] that a medieval mint which produced coinage existed at Cissbury around the eleventh century. Coins have been found across Sussex from Chichester to Lewes bearing the name Sithe, Sithsteb and Sithmes, taken to mean the former name of Cissbury in use at this time of 'Sith(m)esteburh'. The coins found are from the reigns of Ethelred the Unready and Cnut.[5] Although it is quite possible that a mint existed at Cissbury, no trace of it has yet been found.

Walks in England: The Ivy Arch Mystery
A viewer asked why a particular road in Worthing, in West Sussex, was called Ivy Arch. He had seen an old photograph of a Gothic arch covered in ivy, but no sign of the real arch existed any more. Could Martin and I help to explain it?

South Downs Way, East to West, Part 3 of 6 - Ditchling to Amberley
This series of six videos is a detailed and authoritative photographic flipbook guide to all 113 miles of the South Downs Way travelling from east to west.
The South Downs Way is a long distance footpath and official National Trail that traces the length of the South Downs National Park. In doing so it predominantly follows the scarp slope of the range of chalk hills stretching from Eastbourne in East Sussex to Winchester in Hampshire.

Summer Solstice at Cissbury Ring
21st June 2011. Transition Town Worthing's Heart & Soul Group are finding ways of reconnecting with the Earth and nature's cycles. Summer Solstice is about celebrating the sun's power, as well as the abundance of nature. This time of year is 'Peak Growth'!. This picnic on the top of Cissbury Ring, just north of Worthing, West Sussex, England was great fun and we finished by watching the sunset. We also wrote messages of hope to the Earth on ribbons and tied them onto the tree we had our picnic around.
