Chithurst Day Walk 12 October 2016

Maddie, June, Marian and Linda's walk started from Chithurst and took us to a great lunch in The White Horse, Rogate.  There was a little rain, but nothing too serious. Very pleasant walk through woodland and fields full of well-behaved bullocks (thank goodness!).The walk was about 7 miles, for those who completed the whole day's walk!  Additional photos thanks to Marian and Jeff.

Milland Morning Walk 5th October 2016

Mary, John, Barbara and Peter conspired to give us a walk that would get us back to The Rising Sun in good time,  as it was rumoured there may be a birthday party. We were encouraged not to dawdle too much as the pub wanted us to order early and we were a large group of 21.  It was a beautiful day with a clear blue sky. Our walk was around just under 4 miles and about 300 feet of climbing, so we were all still in good health and early to the pub. The arrangements were excellent with 2 courses served in good time and highly edible. Mary had the tricky task of firstly blowing out the candles and then the even trickier job of cutting the cake into 21 pieces. Unsurprisingly, Mary performed both tasks with great skill, as expected  from a girl of a certain age. We are all looking forward the the next significant event in 10 years time! Thank you Mary for an excellent day. Thanks to Marian, Jeff and Denis for photos.

Hillbrow day walk 28th September 2016

This was a walk led by Denis, starting in Rogate and reaching The Drovers Arms in Hillbrow for an excellent lunch. No rain and generally good conditions - luckily the high crops at the start of our walk were dry. Keen-eyed walkers spotted one of the antique dealers from the TV programme Dickinsons Real Deal taking her dog for a walk - or was it the other way round? On the return journey we saw a plantation of eucalyptus trees, buzzards, a field full of pumpkins and a surprisingly healthy looking crop of sugar beet. Photos with thanks to Denis, Jeff and Marian. The walk was 5 miles in total with 618ft of height gained.

East Dean Morning Walk 21st September 2016

Jennifer and Jean led us on a saunter up from East Dean, through fields and woodland and finally to have lunch in the Fox Goes Free in nearby Charlton. The pub was very busy at first with Goodwood racegoers stopping by for a quick one before the first race, but soon cleared. The weather was very pleasant and the walk was 4.3/4 miles with 730 feet height gained.

Chidham and Prinsted 14th September

We set off in spite of hot weather being forecast and we were well rewarded for our troubles. Jennifer had almost cancelled her walk but the sea breeze kept temperatures down until the last 1/2 hour of the morning as we turned inland. Lunch at the Old House at Home was very tasty and we were well refreshed  to tackle the last mile or two back to Prinsted. We saw a strange trimaran sailing  boat which seemed to be being pedalled, but it was a long way away. However Google search turned up an example and it's a Hobie Trimaran, originally made in USA. Blackberries were excellent all the way round.
