Posted on September 28, 2013 by Wingclipped

58b – Selsey Part II

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Wingclipped

Do you believe in ghosts?  As we rounded Selsey Bill we were suddenly overcome with flies.  It was as if we had suddenly found ourselves in the middle of one of the ten plagues of Egypt.  Some of our party … Continue reading →

58a – Selsey Part I

Posted on September 23, 2013 by Wingclipped

It was a little overcast and gloomy when we arrived back at Selsey to continue our walk.  The boats along the shore bobbed up and down unhappily, waiting for the sun that was promised. The working beach tried to provide … Continue reading →

57e – Pagham Harbour to Selsey

Posted on September 22, 2013 by Wingclipped

As we left Pagham Harbour and arrived back at the shingle beach we naturally gravitated down to the sands exposed by the tide.  Walking on shingle makes for a tough trudge.  The compact sands, by comparison, make for relatively easy … Continue reading →

57d – Pagham Harbour Part III

Posted on September 17, 2013 by Wingclipped

We saw a lot of wildlife as we walked around the second half of Pagham Harbour.  To start with, there was this chap, a Painted Lady. See how his tongue is buried inside the thistle?  I spent a fair few … Continue reading →

57c – Pagham Harbour Part II

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Wingclipped

Half way around Pagham Harbour, at its far northwestern corner, is Sidlesham Quay.  The Crab and Lobster pub is here.  We knew it only as a public house sign on our map, but have since found out that it is, … Continue reading →

57b – Pagham Harbour Part I

Posted on September 14, 2013 by Wingclipped

The inland detour around Pagham Harbour is a journey of some five miles.  At the end of it all you emerge back on the beach, less than a mile from where you left it.  For all of that, I am … Continue reading →

Posted on September 12, 2013 by Wingclipped

At the end of our last walk we had to abort due to bad weather.  Today, when we arrived to pick up where we had left off, Mr Blue Sky was back out and smiling down on us.  As we … Continue reading →

56f – Bognor Regis

Posted on September 9, 2013 by Wingclipped

On our way through Bognor Regis we realised that there was some form of festival going on.  It was the 23rd Annual Rox Music and Arts Free Festival.  Roads were closed.  Crowds thronged the promenade as they all tried to … Continue reading →

56e – Felpham to Bognor Regis

Posted on September 8, 2013 by Wingclipped

As we walked from Felpham, the Bognor Regis skyline was dominated by the multi-domed structure of Butlin’s Holiday Camp.  To me it was an eyesore.  From Felpham it looked like it towered over the town, drawing all attention to its … Continue reading →
