Hill Brow Morning Walk 5th February 2020

On a beautiful cold but bright morning Barbara and Mary led a group of seventeen from Liss village up towards Hill Brow and on to Rake Hanger through woodland designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest managed by English Nature. Here a coffee break and chocolates gave sustenance (thank you Dot) before ascending a pretty steep hill into Rake village and then on to East Liss. After this delightful walk of nearly five miles we had a short drive to the Jolly Drover’s pub and enjoyed a very good lunch plus an abundance of birthday chocolates (happy birthdays Jennifer and John).


Hill Brow Day Walk 29th January 2020

Isabel's walk started from the car park in Tullecombe Forestry car park and we found the paths had suffered from the recent rain so several detours were necessary. The rain stayed away during the morning and we arrived in good time for lunch in The Jolly Drover in Hill Brow after a less muddy stroll along Rake Hanger. Well fed, we returned via the bike track in Combe Hill and the magnificent trees in Tullecombe. The walk was about 6.1/2 miles.


Harting Morning Walk 22nd January 2020

Peter and Trevor were our walk leaders for a wander around the Hartings, deep in the Sussex Downs.  A somewhat cold morning but no wind or rain. Mist was laying in the valley so no big views were on show, but plenty of signs that spring is just around the corner. There were plenty of attractive houses and gardens to admire and we eventually reached the welcoming 17th century White Hart in South Harting where we all enjoyed a good lunch next to a roaring log fire.


Midhurst Morning Walk 8th January 2020

After the Christmas break, walkers needed to stretch their legs and a good number gathered at The Royal Oak for a morning amble. Isabel was again leading the walk, this time through to West Lavington and then along the New Lipchis Way to the Wharf and St Anns Hill. A walk past the church and the Spread Eagle led to South Pond where we stopped for refreshments. After skirting Holmbush we found Pitsham Lane which eventually brought us back to the A286 south of The Royal Oak. In spite of the numbers some excellent food was produced, an excellent reward for the  4.1/2 miles we had covered.


Graffham Walk and Christmas lunch party 11th December 2019

Isabel led this circular walk from the car park in Duncton Common and from there we headed west towards Heath End and Burton Park Road. We started out in the rain but all in good spirits - probably anticipating a splendid lunch. After some further showers we reached the end of our 4.1/2mile walk and headed for the White Horse in Graffham. After a very good lunch we had another amazing raffle organized by Marian and twelve lucky ticket buyers went home with a superb prizes. Thanks also to Mary for organizing this last big lunch of 2019.
