Thorney Island

We are now firmly in the we-want-to-go-away-every-weekend-in-the-camper-van zone so after our lovely time in Corfe Castle we headed down to Chichester for the weekend.  The weather forecast was good and we wanted to be by the sea.

We really like this campsite as it is so peaceful and quiet and there is a lovely local pub and farm shop within just a few minutes walk.  

Half way through our first evening we started chatting to one of the other campers (or rather motorhome-ers) and he mentioned a long walk that they had been on a few days before and it sounded quite appealing so we decided to brave it with the dogs the next day.  The walk was approximately 10 miles around Thorney Island and was very enjoyable.  There was a lovely sandy beach about half way around which we could have stayed at for the day and beautiful scenery to admire.




After several bottles of water, a few snacks and some fairly nasty insect bites we had every intention of walking around Emsworth and exploring the town a bit.  



However, the weather was nice and we fancied getting back to the camper van, getting changed and strolling over  to the nearby pub for a nice lunch outside in the sunshine (also I think the dogs had had enough!).  


Over lunch we decided that next time we should try to walk to Hayling Island - that could be another adventure for another sunny day maybe.

Even though we have enjoyed the Cali in the colder months, we are really starting to appreciate how amazing it is when the weather is nice.  We can set up the table and chairs, get the Cadac out and relax, eat, drink and be merry.
