Viewing events by Tim
Liz's walk on the 17th April is around the Tillington and Upperton area. As parking is limited at the start, we propose for all to meet at Midhurst car park as usual for car share and directions. Lunch is at the Hollist Arms and the menu will be sent to all for pre ordering. About 4 miles easy going through vineyards with far reaching views, and woodland hopefully with bluebells? Dry on the pre walk but could be muddy in places on the day if we have a lot of rain, only a couple of stiles, and horses in the field we cross and some minor road walking.
Pete's walk will start from Sheepwash Lane in Lavant (SU860 084) parking next to the georgeous River Lavant. The first part of the walk will be a pleasant stroll alongside the chalk fed river then climb up to the Iron Age fort on the top of the Trundle which will give 360 degrees of fantastic views. Catch our breath and then downhill to our lunch break at The Dean in West Dean next to the A286 where we should arrive at about 12.30/1.00pm and after lunch we will return to the car parking via the disused Chichester to Midhurst railway track bed cycle and walk way. The walk distance will be about 7.3 miles. Contact Pete on 07769661120 if needed.
Jeff will be leading a walk around Bosham. For those going directly to Bosham, please meet in the Municipal Car Park PO18 8HS, which can be accessed towards the end of Bosham Lane (for the really foolhardy, go to the very end of Bosham Lane and park on the foreshore.....). After a walk of about 5 miles to Fishbourne and back, lunch will be in The Anchor Bleu in Bosham.
Jeff's walk is from Witley Common and traverses four commons altogether. The walk is about 7.1/2 miles and is mostly flat. Start is from the National Trust Car Park on Webb Road, Witley GU8 5QJ SU 93359 40906 or N51.15980 deg W000.66633 deg. Lunch will be at that fine pub in Thursley - The Three Horseshoes.
Here are the details for walk on 20th. March. Starting at The Hamilton Arms Stedham GU29 0NZ grid ref. SU857223. Park in the road opp. the pub as the pub car park is closed. On the pre-walk (9th. March) it was wet and muddy, so boots and sticks are recommended.
