3 of the 7 had...n=7 w=sunny-with-diminishing-clouds<br />3 of the 7 had been on the walk-check in February as well, so only 4 newbies to this walk, disappointingly. the rest missed out on a very good day out...<br />It was muddy in the woods in the morning from the heavy overnight rainfall, but we had a good walking surface thereafter; the sky was getting bluer during the day, therefore we had wonderful (if a bit hazy) far views when it mattered: in the afternoon; excellent food was had again in The Partridge, in Singleton, this time out in the back garden, then we went on to the village fete at the cricket ground, where the raffle was raided by the girls, while the horseshoe-tossing attempts were as unsuccessful as the first ever bowled over by the undersigned (I hit the stumps once, but with an illegal arm movement, or some such, apparently); then up to St. Roche's Hill, from where said views were had. <br />5 stayed on for drinks in Chichester, 4 then had the tenacity to stay on for dinner in Chichester as well, plus another drink upon arrival in Victoria Station. Not to forget the raffle-won bottle of plonk on the train... Back home at midnight. Very nice walk (but I would say that).Thomas Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298846868417688062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-59012395301565501552015-06-13T06:25:27.034+01:002015-06-13T06:25:27.034+01:00I intend joining this walk.I intend joining this walk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
