The weather forecast looks favourable to see some butterflies on Thursday. A different route is planned from 12 days previously, which you can see at https://www.outdooractive.com/en/routeplanner/?fromtmpl=210596696 

However, there is an escape route. You could walk up to the so-called "orchid bank" and leave the main walk there to walk directly back to Pyecombe on the bridleway on your own.  That loop could take about 90 mins in total from the start. 

The Common-spotted and other orchids will be emerging too as the Early-purples "go over".

was also seen on this day in 2020, which I had forgotten!
