It started again wth four beers at the Ship Inn, Emsworth.
Chris had travelled down from the Lakes, meet the boy Horton on route and then Dickster in the pub... it was a bit noisier than at the end of last time with a load of lads largered up in the bar. Leon had booked us into a dodgy BnB 2 miles from town, we did Kebab:)
Its was just outside the pub where Dick fell over like a school boy next morning while calling home. Kate was pregnant with Fred, Harry just sarting to crawl... the lads with Chloe and Chris's littleuns may have to finish this wander in 30 years if we cop it. We were heading for West Wittering today across the flats and across Chichester harbour on the ferry into Itchnor. After 3 hours of walking, the ferry was not working. An extra wander would be needed to get around the harbour. A detour up and around Bosham and with a load of 'injenuity' got us into the Ship Inn at Itchnor. The afternoon was a 6 mile walk past West Wittering beach (Good old Caroline..:) and into East Wittering. WIth no accomidation around we took the bus back to West Wittering to check into the Homestead? England kicked the French in the six nations and we passed out...
The next morning we were to pass by Selsey and hopefully across Pangham harbour entrance... the tide was high and it would have been ambarasing if we tried to get across. Four miles around the outside, a cool pub to the North and a cruise along Bognor seafront got us to the Waterloo Arms next to the small pier at Bognor.
This cobble was a lot of flat, 28'ish wiggly miles for not much coastal distance. We had a laugh:)
