The drone of aircraft heading into Shoreham Airport faded into the distance; we continued on our way west.  We soon reached a small grassy patch of open space.  It had outdoor exercise equipment; it had ice creams; and above all it had WC facilities – hooray!  On leaving the facilities we went over to the exercise equipment.  For some reason, walking around the entire coast of Britain is not enough for the kids – they leaped onto the air skier and then proceeded to try out each and every piece of apparatus in turn (later in the day they suddenly started complaining of fatigue – I wonder why?!?).

A crow looked on lazily, more interested in the tiny fly buzzing around, just out of reach.  It was trying to decide whether to lunge forward to snap it up as a quick protein snack – can you see it?

Just beyond the exercise area we were officially welcomed to Lancing.

So much for Lancing; as pleasant as it was, there was not a huge amount going on.  We headed off, towards the bustle of Worthing.
