THERE WILL BE A MENU AVAILABLE PRIOR TO 10.00AM IN THE CAR PARK BUT IF YOU WANT A PRIOR PEEP, GO TO www.selbornearms.co.uk/menu. Starting PROMPTLY AT 10.00am from the free car park behind "The Selborne Arms". GU34 3JR. SU7419033512. 51deg.05'46.06"N 0deg.56'30.85"W or 51.096128deg.N 0.941903deg.W. The walk takes us across open fields and some woodland, through Noar Hill nature reserve with an abundance of  wild flowers at present (and possibly a few late orchids) finally descending the zigzag. Lunch at "The Selborne Arms", they have requested we pre-order lunch before we walk. A larger walking group has pre-booked the same time as we have (12:30ish). It may be a case of first come first served. Someone will be at Midhurst car park as usual, but WE AIM TO LEAVE MIDHURST AT 9.30AM instead of the usual 9.45.

One of the most interesting chalk grassland and scrub sites in Britain, rich in flowers and butterflies Noar Hill was once the site of medieval chalk workings but is now carpeted by flowering plants growing on the chalk. The ridges, banks and hollows here provide a variety of niches that allow many different species to thrive. There are a large number of breeding butterflies (over 35 species) and over a dozen species of orchid can be found here. Thanks to www.hiwwt.org.uk/reserves/noar-hill for this information.

This day walk will be from the car park in Selborne to the Three Horsehoes in East Worldham. Park in the public car park behind the Selborne Arms. The food is nearly all fresh cooked, so it would be very helpful to pre-order - details are below.  For those with long memories, baked potatoes are not on the menu - new owners say they can't really be done as a quick meal!!
