Midhurst short Day Walk 16th January 2019

Linda, June and Maddie  led a walk around Midhurst with numbers depleted with holidays and another member suffering from the effects of a nasty fall. In fairly damp conditions the walk went up to Easebourne cross roads before taking to the footpaths to reach Hollist Common and then to drop down to the New Lipchis Way, following the River Rother to Woolbeding Bridge. This historically important and relatively unspoilt medieval bridge had an original road surface of sand and gravel, this being replaced with cobbles around 1625. Refreshments awaited in Gartons Coffee House in Midhurst Town square and at this point it was decided to call it a day as the weather showed no sign of improving. Many thanks to Isabel and Pauline for the excellent photos.
