The forecast is for a rather rainy day but it’s Sunday so we pull on our leggings and set off for Ellanore. It’s a bit later than usual so the tide is just as high as yesterday, the waves are breaking over the dunes at East Head and the wind surfers are out. There’s a […]
I should have checked the tide times, ridiculous not too. I’d intended to take the short walk around Chidham but on passing the Bosham arm of the harbour it was clear that would be out of the question. Reading the tide table confirmed that not only was High water in ten minutes time but it […]
Only time for a quick walk today, around Dell Quay to Copperas and back. It’s overcast with the odd patch of drizzle, the temperature may have climbed up to 8 degrees but it doesn’t feel like it. It’s damp and muddy, Bonnie is delighted to run free when we leave the road and head into […]
The display showed a temperature of one degree this morning, a degree more than yesterday but enough to make a huge difference. There was little frost about, it felt damp rather than dry, certainly it felt much warmer than yesterday. In fairness it was clear that the temperature had not dropped so low during the […]
We’ve had really stormy weather over the weekend and there’s more to come later in the week but in between there’s a brief period of high pressure bringing northerly winds. Naturally that means it’s colder than usual but only just below freezing at night; this morning it was zero degrees when we went out. Strangely […]
The car is at the repairers so Bonnie has to put up with a local walk today, along the Centurion Way to Whitehouse Farm. The weather could not be more different to yesterday due to a short lived ridge of high pressure. We have perfect visibility, bright blue sky but a chilly northerly breeze that […]
Traditionally, November mornings for me are misty affairs when mild damp air has been chilled down overnight. It may burn off after a few hours but walking in poor visibility has always been associated with Autumnal days, before it gets really cold in December. This month has been an exception, so far, it’s taken all […]
It’s Friday so it’s off to Church Norton for a quick walk before picking up some fresh fish from Julie’s for dinner tonight. It’s another grey day with little wind but the neap tide is close to high water so we’re hoping to see some wildfowl in Pagham Harbour. We’re not completely disappointed as there […]
It’s grey with patches of drizzle as we set out from Dell Quay towards Copperas. The wind has found it’s form again after so it appears chilly even though the temperature is in double figures. Most of the standing water has drained away although the mud remains as sticky as ever. In the area of […]
After all the boisterous weather of the past few months there’s hardly any wind at all today. Walking out to the harbour at Nutbourne in the still silence punctuated only by wigeon calls was was a welcome change. Rather soothing and contemplative, at least until other walkers came into sight chattering loudly. It may have […]
