Burton Park walk on 4th September 2024

Lynnne had chosen to take a walk around the Burton Park Estate, which dates from the 13th Century. The Grade 1 listed mansion has a chequered history. Once home to a Baronet, then an MP, it became an Army Camp, a girls school, a police dog-training centre and is now split into flats.

There were just 8 of us walking today and we had a short walk of three and a half miles. It was very easy walking, the weather was good and so were the views. We walked from the Cricketers pub past Burton park and the church and did a circuit round the estate, coming back via the trout farm.


Chichester Marina walk on 28th August 2024

The walk was led by Celia and Miguel and was a very pleasant walk along the coast from Dell Quay to Chichester Marina and then back via the Salterns Path. The weather was very pleasant and the walk was spectacular with some enormous fields of sunflowers.
At Chichester Marina we saw a rowing boat being worked on, it had been across the Atlantic Ocean three times, One of the rowers conveniently turned up for a photo opportunity. We had a coffee stop at the Marina watching the boats going out to sea through the lock gates. We all decided it was better to be outside than going to the cafe before our return to our lovely lunch.
