Midhurst walk 18th December 2024

We marked the last walk of 2024 with a 4.5 mile stroll around Midhurst, led by Tim and Jane and welcomed a very occasional walker who we hope will have more time for leisure and less work in the future!  From the north car park along North Street to June Lane where we turned onto a little used path cutting through to the Petersfield Road.  Turning into Carron Lane we met another friend that used to walk with us and once mended, may well walk once again. We then crossed the recreation ground where some gymnastic manoeuvres were relived and onto Midhurst Common.  Climbing up to the viewpoint we enjoyed the views over the wetlands with the South Downs in the distance.  Having sated ourselves on the ocular feast, we wound our way through the common and Sandy Lane, crossed the Petersfield Road into the fields opposite where we joined the New Lipchis Way and stopped for coffee, a Christmas imbibe polished off with an assortment of Stollen and chocolates.  At the crest of the hill we passed a foley and reached the banks of the River Rother which we followed back to Midhurst and onto the Cowdray ruins.  The final leg along the Causeway took us back to the car park for a quick change in time for lunch at the very hospitable Kemælli’s where we engaged in a birthday celebration with an excellent cake.
