Today is Sussex Day and to celebrate Kevin Newman of All-Inclusive History has kindly agreed to share one of his poems with us... 

Journeying Across Sussex

Beachy Head to Selsey Bill
45 miles if you swim through waves a’chill.
But why not instead
Put some good walking boots right on,
And yomp across the Bay of Brighton?

From Chanctonbury to Cissbury Ring,
It’s best to walk across in spring
But if an uphill traipse
Is what you’d like
Start at Saddlescombe,
end at Devil’s Dyke.

Start north-west of Worthing
At Highdown Hill,
Where Olliver once had his mill.
If windmills today you wish to see,
Try Jack and Jill, near Wolstonbury.

    Problems with writing of any kind are common. As for me, I've never enjoyed writing and frequently turn to help writing essays for scholarships https://www.bestessays.com/scholarship_essay.php for assistance. I required a writer last month, and I discovered a fantastic one who assisted me with my paper. The quality was excellent, and the cost was reasonable.
