We are always happy to welcome new members to our happy band, so if you fancy a relaxing walk in the countryside with good company to chat to along the way, just turn up at one of our walks.

2012 WALKS PROGRAMME
May 2012 Walks
Friday 11th. Chidham
Leader: Carol C.
Start: Start: Cot Lane, Chidham by the Barleycorn Public House. Map reference: SU 788 054 (OS Landranger 197, Explorer 120).
Directions: From Havant, take the A259 (Old Havant to Chichester road) towards Chichester. At Nutbourne, turn south by the Barleycorn Public house, which is on the corner of Cot lane where we start our walk. There is a small lay-by in the road, with a little more parking on the side of the road further on. There is also more parking on the side of the road opposite Cot Lane on the north side of the A259. Parking is very limited, so it would be an idea to car share if possible.
Route: Pleasant walk along the foreshore, with views towards Thorney Island, around Nutbourne and circling back through Chidham. The walk is flat with no stiles!
Distance: 4 miles - about 2 hours.
Afterwards: The Barleycorn is a welcoming hostelry serving food and drink including tea and coffee.
