Chichester Hills, Saturday 6th July 201918 walkers, 21.7 miles - leader Gavin Fuller
16 guinea pigs turned up at a sunny Chichester to experience our current webmaster's debut walk as a leader. A warm-up on the shady Centurian Way was soon followed by a steady climb to the nature reserve of Kingley Vale, which was so warm at the top that plans for a lunch taking in the views had to be abandoned for some shadier spot, whilst one member decided they needed to take in spiritual sustenance at Chichester Cathedral instead.
Rolling countryside then followed to a much-needed drink stop at the Partridge in Singleton, where a latecomer finally met up with the group.
Suitably refreshed and drinks bottles topped up the group then tackled the pull up to the second 206m high hill of the day, namely The Trundle, where by dint of expert timing the views were supplemented by the sight of an air display for Goodwood's Festival of Speed below.
The descent to Chichester was surprisingly unaccompanied by sounds of revving engines and the like from said festival, and inevitably once in the city the siren call of Wetherspoons was too much for some of the party to ignore!
