Week Day HIKE:Stunning seaside of Chichester Harbour- and a SWIM

Beach, beach, let,s go to the beach! A gorgeous sandy beach in a gorgeous area of natural outstanding beauty and one of my hikers favourites! It is Wednesday, a weekday meaning that the area and most importantely, the beach will almost be just for us! We will start the hike along the canal until we reach the marina, then along the stunning estuary which could look like paradise until we reach one of Britain's most beautiful sandy beach! West Wittering... Join me on this beautiful hike and visit both Chichester Harbour and town, a traditional English seaside town with sandy beaches, dunes and one of the most stunning nature reserves. We will visit the old town and cathedral and hike the seaside and nature reserve South of this historical place. CHICHESTER HARBOUR is a large natural harbour to the south west of the city of Chichester on the Solent. Talking about sunset, you cannot imagine the beauty of this red sky over West Wittering Sandy beach and the Solent, just mind blowing. If you have to choose a hike this year, this is the one, it has become a favourite for my hikers and is pretty flat, although quite long. It is one of four natural harbours in that area of the coastline, the others being Portsmouth Harbour, Langstone Harbour and Pagham Harbour The massive stretch of tidal flats and saltings are of outstanding ecological significance. Very large populations of wildfowl and waders use the mudflats feeding on the rich plant life and the huge populations of intertidal invertebrates. More than 7,500 Brent geese overwinter on the intertidal mud-land and adjacent farmland and around 55,000 birds reside in or visit the Harbour throughout the year. Really, those landscapes are quite unique, you will be surrounded by water and birds and the sunset is exceptional. CHICHESTER, a cathedral town in West Sussex,it is the only city in West Sussex and its county town. It was a Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlement and a major market town from those times through Norman and medieval times to the present day. It is the seat of the Church of England Diocese of Chichester, with a 12th-century cathedral. INFORMATION: Distance:13 miles/19km Difficulty:easy/medium TRAVEL: Via train We will have a short bus ride back to the station after the hike MEETING POINT: 09.30 am at London VICTORIA Station near the ticket office COST: £ 17 via Paypal £25 in cash for the train, we will get a discounted group ticket that we will buy together at the station £3.60 for a bus ticket back from West Wittering to Chichester (takes 20 min) INCLUDED: Guided hike A great time with lovely people NOT INCLUDED: Bus ticket Train ticket Anything not mentioned above WHAT TO BRING: Waterproof shoes for the hike, preferably hiking shoes, otherwise good trainers; Weather appropriate clothes, including waterproofs if there is a chance of rain; Water bottle; Packed lunch and snacks.

3-Hour Boat Cruise + DJ => Kingston Town End Pier

Hi All, **Boat Cruise Tickets:** [https://www.tickettailor.com/events/sanjay/2319801](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/sanjay/2319801) **Please note there is a small booking and transaction fee.** **The ticket prices will start at £20 for early bookings and rise to £50 for late bookings, with tickets released in stages. So get the tickets early before they go up. Ticket cancellation and full refund given up to 48 hours before the cruise. No refunds within 48 hours of the cruise. 80-90 tickets for sale, which is below the total boat's capacity.** **Check-In Starts: 07:00 PM.** **Boat Cruise: 07:30 PM - 10:30 PM** Yes, it’s finally happening…a BOAT CRUISE from Kingston pier and back for three hours with a DJ. The DJ will play tunes we request, as the whole boat is hired for us. We will see scenes in the daylight and at night. We will also be passing a 'Boat Lock' where you'll get to experience how a boat moves through two different levels of water. The route will be either up toward the Sunbury route or down to the Richmond route; they cannot say exactly at this time. The lower deck of the boat is fully enclosed with a sitting area. The upper deck has a sitting area, a dance floor, and access to an open area to the outside of the boat. Naturally, they have a full licenced bar. The corkage fee is £12.00 per 75cl bottle of sparkling or still wine; this is the only product they allow corkage on. Look forward to seeing the usual suspects as well as new members for interesting views, great vibes, silly dancing, and simply socialising. Making it a great one-off, unique event. So don't miss the boat (sorry, couldn't resist 😂) 🛥️💃🕺🤩☀️ Sanjay

Harbour Heights - Brighton to Newhaven (14 miles)

All round the North Sea "haven" is a universal word for a harbour: from the Norse *hofn* and Old English *haefen;* Germans say *hafen,* the Dutch *haven,* in Norwegian, Danish & Faroese it's *havn,* and here many harbour places are named *haven.* Leaving Brighton, there will be heights in the South Downs. Telscombe Tye is the highest point. Returning to the sea, Harbour Heights are Newhaven's white cliffs with a 1860's Palmerston fort and a nature reserve. Below is a small beach and the Hope Inn is a hospitable harbour-side place. Fish & chips in the inn. Perhaps a ship passing in the night, or at least a *Transmanche* ferry to France 🚢 TRAVEL Take the 9.15 train from London Bridge to BRIGHTON. An off peak day return ticket to BRIGHTON is £12.10 with a Network card or Groupsave. People gather in front of the ticket office to arrange Groupsave tickets. The organizer will meet people on the train WALK DETAILS & RETURN TO BRIGHTON Walk starts 10.20 AM prompt from BRIGHTON station. Walk ends at NEWHAVEN where the Hope Inn sits quaintly between the harbour entrance and the beach. Afterwards there is a very regular bus service 12 (every 10 minutes) from Newhaven Town train station to Brighton station with the £2 or £3 capped single fare. [Fares & ways to pay - Brighton & Hove Buses](https://www.buses.co.uk/fares-and-tickets) *How to join?* * The walk is entirely free of charge; * You only arrange for your own travel and pub expenses; * Understand our terms and conditions below (the "IMPORTANT" part); * Understand how to stay safe outdoors, as you will be responsible for yourself.
