Farmers are also out doing pest control with rifles fitted with lamps or night vision after dark, woodland with no rights of way are classed as a safe backstop. Might be orth considering that when planning a camping spot.

Go deep or find a gulley, certain parts of the down do have organised shoots although i doubt rimfires would be involved because of the 'cleared land' part of the licence requirements. probably going to do it soon as its on my doorstep.

I spoke to a chap recently, he had just completed the SDW and said he thoroughly enjoyed the route. He started with fish & chips in Winchester about tea-time. 1st night: he camped on the first ridge out of the city, next morning a full english breakfast in a cafe beside a fishing lake (right on the route) 2nd night: foresty commission shelter/WC/flat ground in Queen Elizabeth park. 3rd night: free camp site beside the route at Amberly, breakfast in Steyning. 4th night: camped on Black Cap, breakfast from burger van beside Lewes/Brighton road. Finished with fish & chips in Eastbourne about tea-time. He said there were water taps along the route and a good shop and 'ask the farmer' camping at Cocking Post Office. Hope this helps.
