Dist:0.3km<br/>The tracks in the snow were not human.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Presumably because north of here was the way to Brighton from Pease Pottage, and south of here was the way to London from Handcross.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This was the S bound carriageway of the A23 trunk road before a bypass was built for Handcross Primary School (and other properties to the N of the village). The original road was reverted to single carriageway (along the old N bound lane) and reclassified as B2115. The unrequired carriageway was broken up and reclaimed by bramble, hawthorn, and other native invasive flora.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The B2114 follows the old route of the A23. This roundabout facilitates access from the southbound carriageway of the A23 dual carriageway to the road leading to Handcross from the north. There is no vehicular access to the A23 from here.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The road is the B2114, Brighton Road, although its name changes to London Road near where the cars are.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The nearer road is the old alignment, the further is the present A23. There is a one-way connection between them ahead, southwards from here the nearer road becomes the B2114.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A small development of about a dozen pre-war semidetached houses to the N of Handcross. Originally on the edge of the N bound carriageway of the A23 - bypassed by the present route of this trunk road.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A large area of private woodland, with nobody about on this bleak day.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The A23 broadens into three lanes here, before changing to the M23, but the outside lane was not usable today because of snow.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Overlooking a large open field, today a snowfield, with several deer tracks visible before the snow started drifting.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Housing facing the main line of the A23.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The current A23 cuts diagonally across the old Brighton road alignment, which passed in front of the houses on the right and then more or less straight on to Pease Pottage, to the left of the current A23.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Recently felled trees allow a glimpse of the back of the houses.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Next to Handcross Primary School, which was closed on this snow-bound day.
