Marley walk 30th November 2022

Kathryn had hoped the mist would clear as we had some great views to admire. Setting off from The Mill Tavern in Shottermill we headed up towards Brinksway, but then turned east in the area of Marley House. Sadly the view over Cognor Wood and beyond towards Butser and the English Channel was limited to the bottom of the hill! The walking was very pleasant and in spite of recent rain, we had no problems at all with wet feet during the morning. We eventually stopped for a drinks break above Kingsley Green and the weather this side of the hill was slightly better, but still the long views were shrouded in mist.  A loop around High Marley and we retraced our steps, with a few diversions, back down through Brinksway and back to the pub. A great meal was had, with some hilarity looking at early photographs.

On a good day you can see forever

Well, it wasn't this day.

View lookers have now given up and are just standing around

That looks a bit brighter

"Meanwhile I'll just humour these walkers."

Nice high bank to avoid the river of mud and leaves

Homeward bound.

Great lunch at The Mill Tavern.
