WEDNESDAY 22 JUNE 2005 - Evening Ride: Felpham, The Fox to Blacksmiths Arms Donnington
Support for the summer evening rides has been patchy, and on this balmy mid summer evening in perfect cycling conditions it was disappointing that only 4 riders set out for Donnington. (John, Julian, Val and myself.)

Leaving Felpham we headed for Bognor seafront, and threaded our way through the traffic of the West End and Aldwick before heading into open country along the Lower Road and the Park Farm byways.
After diverting through Mundham village we reached Hunston where we took the canal towpath to Donnington, stopping en route to inspect the old alignment of the former railway to Selsey.

Donnington Bridge was soon reached, and we arrived at our destination to find the Chichester group "Diners Club" enjoying their meal.

We returned to Felpham almost entirely by road, although we diverted again through the tracks at Park Farm.

Felpham was reached, still with the last of the daylight, at 10.15pm.

Mileage from start, back to start point, a very modest 18.
