An air ambulance landed near one of the steepest parts of the London to Brighton Bike Ride route.
The air ambulance came from its base in Redhill and appeared to land near the bottom of Ditchling Beacon.
The notorious hill is one of the hardest parts of the 55 mile route.
The air ambulance then went to East Brighton Park where it landed at about 2.15pm.
