You will notice the route guide has a star-rating. That's intended to be an easy way for esp parents cycling with kids, but also less-confident cyclists to get an idea about a route.
Check the route guide before setting off, as it also includes a weather forecast!

Also don't forget the Ice Cream cafe on Shoreham Beach!
