It’s the fourth day of 35 degree days and 20+ degree nights, the only time to go for a walk is early in the morning and it’s time to visit Nutbourne and Prinstead again. As soon as we got down to the harbour a surprise was in store, about forty Canada geese were there, sitting […]
A quick walk around the northern part of the Chidham peninsula revealed several changes. In particular the market garden fields had been planted and were growing well, Cabbage, Onions and many other vegetables were all doing rather well despite the dryness and apparent lack of irrigation. Clearly the Pigeons were a pest as there were […]
After a few days away sailing its comforting to be back walking around Fishbourne even though the weather is a bit grey after so much sunshine; we even had a bit of much needed rain yesterday evening. It’s a very full moon and low tide so the harbour is all mudflats with just a trickle […]
Time for one last walk around the harbour before we set off for a few days sailing; Ichenor is the choice and we’re out early before the crowds descend. There’s not a lot to see as the duck have left for quiet safe spots to moult. Much the same can be said for the songbirds […]
After torrential rain the sky has cleared and it’s a pleasantly sunny day with a light breeze to make walking enjoyable. As it’s Sunday we took the short walk around Chidham to avoid people although that wasn’t particularly successful, we were clearly a bit late out. This is always an interesting walk and didn’t disappoint […]
It’s threatening rain as we leave, only ardent dog walkers are out this morning. It becomes showery but not too much to prevent us enjoying the walk around Apuldram. At first there seems to be little new to note, just the mallow, ragwort, swans and lots of gulls. Passing over the outfall of the Lavant […]
Friday is synonymous with fish so on the way to Julies in Selsey for tonights dinner we stopped off at Church Norton for a short walk. It’s clearly been busy there at the little car park during the pandemic as there were still signs up indicating that it was full, they suggested drivers go to […]
Another lovely sunny day and all’s well at Dell Quay even if it’s a bit busy. A pleasant breeze makes it invigorating walking rather than being a bit demanding, as it has of late, due to the humidity. Many of the black berries are now black and sweet but as most of the good ones […]
Another good day’s forecast so it’s clearly going to be a busy day at Wittering Estate. Early in the morning there was quite a queue to get in and plenty of people already there staking out their favourite spots. Unusually many of them had ventured away from the beaches and cars onto the footpaths, I’ve […]
It’s a lovely sunny day so we set off to Harting Down to do the circular walk along the escarpment before the crowds arrive. They did arrive in force later on but didn’t walk far from the car park so for much of the time we had the paths to ourselves. This may have been […]
