Hooray, walking is back on the menu!
Pauline and group walked three and half miles, from Petworth town centre, to Shimmings Valley, Brinksole Heath, Byworth and back to Petworth. Some stunning views of Petworth. Stopping at the Virgin Mary Spring to benefit from the revered water that never ceases to flow.
Setting out

June and group walked about 5 miles from Cowdray Cafe car park, over the golf course and through Cowdray Park. After a loop we passed Loves Farm before reaching Easebourne Lane. A quick diversion and we were dropping into the productive allotments in Easebourne before reaching the Cowdray Cafe car park once again.

Peter's walk started from Stedham and then went through the playing field to Stedham Mill. After a wander along the River Rother, the walkers returned to the village and eventually to some refreshment in a nearby garden.
