As promised a bit about the Arundel Trip


In August a party of us visited Arundel YHA just before it closed. It was one of our favourites and will be sorely missed. It was tucked away down a small lane at Warningcamp and had a nice patch of grass outside which campers could use, and the younger generation loved the freedom it gave them! Mind you we did have to cross the railway line to walk to Arundel itself.



 

This was the nice conservatory where you could have your meals.
 

 
A folly in the distance on the way to Arundel.

 The countryside in this area is beautiful - close to the South Downs. This is us on a walk on the Sussex Downs. 
Here we are walking the short distance from the hostel into Arundel along the bank of the river Arun.
This is us having a break by the Arun in the Town.

We went down on a Friday (which seems to have become the norm) and did a half day walk after which we made ourselves a slap up meal at the hostel.  We did a full day walk on the Saturday taking a packed lunch and then going into Arundel, after sprucing up a bit, for a group pub meal. We then did another shorter walk on the Sunday before returning home.  As you can see the weather was kind to us and we all enjoyed the walking, views, food and company! Again more photos in the Album on the website.
