Apparently n=2 others did manage an earlier start of the walk but with our delayed start we never saw them en route. Given the late arrival and concerns over getting to the lunch pub in time, we set off at a brisk pace up the ridge in w=driving rain. This route is very nice and definitely holds the promise of lovely views under better weather conditions. Once the rain eased up a bit, the low cloud and mist on the hills was very atmospheric. Lunch at the George was a vast improvement over last week's fiasco -- a warm and cozy pub with good quality food. As it is a popular pub -- advance bookings are advised in the future. Once satiated, we set off on a more relaxed pace to Arundel doing the Book 1 route in reverse -- up the river for a spell then up the hill into Arundel Park. All agreed that this combination generates a great route borrowing the best parts of two different walks. Conditions finally dried and we were treated to two rainbows en route and some beautiful low sunshine on Arundel Castle when we arrived. Seven then retired to the White Hart for a post walk tipple and then, properly provisioned for the journey home, caught the 18:12 where we were greeted by a very friendly Southern guard who inquired whether we were a club or friends -- the reply from our party, a club and sometimes friends....Another great day out notwithstanding the auspicious start and damp conditions!Stargazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207931214700279104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-37887041609616438082017-02-15T07:24:50.185+00:002017-02-15T07:24:50.185+00:00I am doing the walk Today.

Please note I have also written a new walk from Amberley which is beautiful too but as yet unfinished as on one occasion I ended up in a tank training enclosure then I was stopped by rain . I hope to venture with other adventurous souls to find the remainder of this new walk in early April jfkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-52811041467785508402017-02-12T20:59:35.567+00:002017-02-12T20:59:35.567+00:00Any bad boy rumours about me are completely unfoun...Any bad boy rumours about me are completely unfounded.
