Time: Approx 3 hours. Unpaved paths were very slow going as it is still very wet and very muddy so probably 2.5 hours in the dry. At least there are no hills.
Ascent: +-5m
1. We parked just along the road from this pub. Any further into Bosham and it's double yellow lines or the pay and display car park.
2. Proof that it really is as wet as I say it is.
3. This is the back of Brinkmans Nurseries. There must be thousands of trees.
4. I know this fungus. It's Dead Man's Fingers, Xylaria Polymorpha.
5. Jelly Ear Fungus, Auricularia auricula-judae. Apparently this is edible but tasteless.
6. It's a very gloomy day but you can just see the spire of Chichester Cathedral.
7. Somebody had taken the trouble to provide a lovely spot for lunch.
8. I can't yet identify this fungus. Any ideas?
9. This is the view from Smugglers' Lane Hard across to West Itchenor. During the summer the Itchenor Ferry takes foot passengers and bikes across Chichester Channel.
10. When the tide is out this causeway is a short cut across Bosham harbour.
11. Bosham is a picturesque and unusual village. It's also entertaining to see visitors returning to their cars to find them about to float away on the tide.
12. Bosham Quay. The old building in the background is known as the Raptackle and is leased by Bosham Sailing Club. Originally it was used to house rope and gear for the busy shipping business but now stores dinghies and outboards for the sailing club.
13. Holy Trinity Church.
