West Sussex

It’s Autumn, but the weather doesn’t seem to agree. So we’ve spent a few more nights in the camper, south of Chichester in West Sussex. We had a terrific cycle ride, including West Wittering, a precarious ferry crossing, Bosham and the Chichester Ship Canal:


Chichester from Poyntz bridge over the Chichester Canal, by JMW Turner, 1828, and how it looks today:

We also visited Selsey, Pagham and Hayling Island.

Dexters

We were joined, during our lunch break working on Walton Common, by the five Dexter cattle who help us keep the grass and weeds under control.

Exmoor near Minehead

Freda the camper has had a service and general “tightening up” of her belts and other corsetry, and is running well. So we had a couple of nights in her to the west of Minehead in North Somerset. We met three generations of Wheelers in Minehead for a day on the beach.
