The trio were dropped off in a taxi at 4.56am on Sunday, 8 January just outside the entrance to the Newhaven Ferry.
They then walked to where the A259 crosses over the B2109.
They were seen sheltering from the rain, under the overpass, at about 6am.
At around 6.15am on Sunday, January 8, they walked along Cantercrow Hill into the fields beyond as the latest CCTV pictures show.
The road is a dead end but leads onto paths up into the South Downs.

Thank you for posting that link
@dotr. I hadn't previously seen that they were in this location
They covered a fair bit of ground in a short space of time, considering the amount they were carrying and the fact that CM was only days post partum at that point. Cantercrow Hill is a totally different part of Newhaven from the ferry terminal or the swing bridge overpass that they were seen sheltering under in earlier CCTV images, and almost the entire walk is uphill. Google maps says it would take 29 minutes to walk but I couldn't do it in that time and they clearly didn't either. CM has extraordinary fortitude imo.
We don't know exactly what route they took, but when you look at their last known location on a map, it doesn't look like the result of random meandering to me and I suspect that they knew exactly where they were headed before they started walking. If I ask myself why they first took the taxi to the ferry terminal then, I find myself wondering whether they hoped to travel by ferry and then had to rethink, or whether they intended to give the false impression of travelling by ferry but had another plan in mind all along. The interesting thing of course is what, or who, they were walking towards.
