Bosham walk on 13th November 2024

We met up at the Bosham car park for Linda and Pauline’s 4.5 mile walk where the sun managed to break through for most of it.  Starting off on Bosham Lane down to the elevated path above Shore Road with the tide in, listening to the banter of the birds swimming about.  Turning off between houses, crossing Taylor’s Lane we followed the path at the edges of newly ploughed fields, crossing Old Park Lane and carried on beside more fields.  Heading north on more paths, skirting around a copse, we arrived at Old Park where we stopped for a coffee break where the sections of tree stumps provided welcome stools.  With empty thermos flasks we turned West onto Old Park Lane again, but leaving as we approached the ponds and walked past the greenhouses of Walton Farm and spilled out onto Walton Lane before meandering past the local houses to Bosham harbour and the car park.  Lunch was a short journey away at The Berkeley Arms for a fine lunch and hearty rendition of Happy Birthday.

All ship shape and Bristol fashion!

Subject to tides, most walkers stayed safe!

The signs were there for those that could read

Who gave you permission to take our photograph?

Certainly not a posed shot - is it?

Clouds covering the sun to make a moody photo

Walkers and crops enjoying the sunshine

Poplars and people

Our attempt at a ‘Madness’ pose

So what needs a carefully held camera?

Very distant deer

We passed some very large greenhouses and squinting through the hedge, we thought we could see red chillies, but it could have been a sweet wrapper....

Tramping along the fields back to our start point

Nice lunch in the Berkeley Arms.
