Stroll along the beach
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2007 1:32 pmI thought it was about time I posted some photos so here goes. After a nice lunch at the airport yesterday I decided to take advantage of the lovely weather & go for a stroll along Shoreham Beach. When I got there the sun hid behind a ginormous cloud. Typical. 
Eventually the cloud disappeared leaving almost perfect conditions with that wonderful clear air we get at this time of year. This is Widewater Lagoon just south of the airport looking nor'east towards Shoreham. St. Mary's church can be seen at far right with the South Downs in the background.
Looking southeast towards Brighton across the pebble beach itself. You can clearly see the city at far left & along the cliffs as far as Beachy Head on the right. This is about 30 miles from where I'm standing & would take over an hour to drive there with good luck & a following wind. The famous White Cliffs of Dover are much farther to the east.
About a mile further on towards Shoreham. Looking north you can see the the footbridge that links Shoreham town with Shoreham Beach across the River Adur. St. Mary's church is now on the left
Looking upriver across the Norfolk Bridge towards Lancing College chapel with the new Ropetackle development on the right. This used to be a run down area of the waterfront. It is now highly desirable luxury flats. The airport is just beyond the bridge.
This was taken from the footbridge looking in the opposite direction into the harbour proper. Paul McCartney has an apartment somewhere along there.
Hope you liked my little tour. I might do more like it now the air display season has finished.
