Where is my breakfast!
Our Nissan Hut
Adjusting the crampons
Too early for Sunday Roast
The straight and narrow
Blue sky walking
Sock it to the plants
A Bridge too near Day 4 - Saturday 22nd April 2006, Cocking to Houghton Bridge
Blue skies, fluffy clouds, very warm
Blue skies, fluffy clouds, very warm
We had our breakfast in the Tearooms of the overnight accommodation. It was another undulating walk and Doug missed his second walking pole on the downhill sections. As you can see from one of the photos it was a sunny day with fine views.
The first part of the walk from Cocking was through wooded areas which was welcome on a warm day. As we got to Bignor Hill there were magnificent views, and little shade until we reached Houghton Bridge.
We had booked a room in the Riverside Tearooms which was in a lovely position next to the River Arun, and just across the road was Bridge Inn. The B&B was in a lovely house and we relaxed on the balcony overlooking the river.
Keith had driven from home to join us for an evening meal at Bridge Inn. The food and Harvery's bitter were very welcome after fine day's walk.
