Lavant Morning Walk 3rd October 2018


Celia and Miguel led us from Sheepwash Lane in Lavant up to the lower slopes of the Trundle in glorious sunshine. We went via Chalkpit Lane with shrubs still to be identified and also a very nice juniper bush carrying plenty of ripe berries. Coffee break was the car park below the Trundle with marvellous views as far as Bognor, Chicester and the Isle of Wight and perhaps a glimpse of the legendary Nab tower, marking the Eastern entrance to the Solent. We then headed over Hayes Down to join the West Sussex Literary Trail to take us back to Sheepwash Lane, although there was no water to wash sheep in the completely dry River Lavant. Lunch was taken back in The Royal Oak in Midhurst.
