Midhurst Footpath Companions
Walking in Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey.

Strollers and Morning walkers 29th June 2022

The weather looked unpredictable as eleven of us set out from North Street car park on Linda and Pauline's walk, making our way along the bank of the river Rother on the new Lipchis Way. As we stopped to hear a little of the background of the new glass house at Woolbeding, a few drops of rain were in the air so it seemed appropriate to stop for coffee under a huge Oak, after a bit of tree hugging with our coffee we crossed the A272 onto Midhurst Common and up to Sunset Hill. The weather was fine so some layers of clothes came off before reaching the Jubilee path and into Midhurst via South Pond, almost 4.5 miles gentle walking. We met more MFC members at the Red H restaurant where we were well looked after.

A happy bunch!

No stiles on this walk - hurrah!

Time for a rest!

Young people -- always on their phones!!!

Guess whose boots these are?

Just pondering....

Denis finding out how Deep South Pond is, answer deeper than a walking stick!

I think I can hear noises inside this tree!

OK said John, I'll just check it out.

Ten steel ‘sepals’ that take four minutes to open to form a 141m2 crown

MFC enjoying Sunset Hill - The friends of Midhurst Common volunteer group were formed in 1986 in response to a proposed development of 230 houses that was subsequently stopped, the group now help maintain and preserve the area for recreational use.

And guess who came to lunch.  Welcome, old friend!

Nice lunch at Red H.
