Looks like the lockdown will be renewed for another three weeks today so we’re going to be seeing quite a bit of the Centurion Way for a while. In the bright sunshine, that continues to mock us as we’re limited to an hour’s exercise, the blossom really stands out. There are domestic trees to see […]
The weather had changed abruptly from 25 degrees to a low of 2 this morning although it had warmed up to 8 by the time we went out to Hunters Race by the Centurion Way. Fortunately it was quite sunny which was pleasant provided you kept moving and out of the stiff breeze. So many […]
It’s Easter Saturday and around the West Walls there were few people about, they were all queueing up to get into Waitrose! With two metre spacing even a few people make a long line… What’s most striking today is the variation in leaf cover by species of trees. Some are fully covered in leaves, others […]
Today was sunny and warm just like yesterday, it looks settled for several days too. To avoid others out for a walk on this, the first day of the bank holiday, we decided to take a short circular walk around the fields adjacent to the Centurion Way. Although destined to be built on they’re still […]
The weather has turned remarkably warm, apparently it was 25 degrees in East Sussex so everyone is out having barbecues; naturally alone in their back garden and not on the beach! This welcome change has had quite an impact on the countryside as we saw when we walked down to Fishbourne and back. It was […]
Heading off for a short walk by the Centurion Way I remembered that the developers of the land alongside had put notices up a year or two ago inviting people to walk round all the fields; it had to be worth while following them to see where they go. The first part is well known […]
With the wind from the south west and high pressure dominating we’re having some outstandingly warm, sunny weather; the forecast for today is 20 degrees! It’s difficult to believe that a few days ago it was only 4 or 5 degrees.What a delight it is walking around the south western section of the walls that […]
It’s Sunday and a gloriously sunny one at that, so everyone will try to get out of their isolation. We decided that today in not a good time for much of a walk so we only ventured up the Centurion way from the Funtington road to Hunters Race. The path is particularly attractive on a […]
To the west of the Centurion way are the fields for the Whitehouse farm development. Those near the railway will not be built on for some time so it’s still possible to take a walk around them, it’s interesting what they conceal. As everywhere, there are great carpets of Celandines which liven up the banks […]
Wonderful bright blue day, after a sharp frost it’s quite warm, especially in the sun. We went to see what was going on along the Centurion Way which follows the path of the old railway line from Chichester to Lavant and beyond. First of all it’s amazing how few cars are parked in Westgate and […]
