Pagham Harbour Walk, 11.5 miles
The route of this walk can be seen at http://explore.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/os_routes/show/16298 It is an area much loved by the leader, Peter, who has defined this walk to pass through a variety of habitats so diverse that it is a gem of a walk for nature lovers and/or walkers who like hills no more than 1 meter high! Don't be put off by the distance. Check the route and you can see that the last loop is optional.
Please bring a picnic lunch. Binoculars are a good idea too. No dogs on this walk.

This short evening stroll passes through a mix of trees including (but not limited to) birch, alder and coniferous plantations in this jewel of a forest just north of Balcombe. The terrain is predominately easy, yet does cross two ghylls where walking poles could be helpful but not essential. The walk starts from the car park off the B2110, 300m from the junction with the B2036, half a mile north of Balcombe. Dogs welcome if on a lead or really well-behaved.
From the Mid Sussex Ramblers' programme, the walk is free of charge and is lead by Peter, tel 01444 415367.
Optional gathering in The Jolly Tanners, Staplefield after the walk.
