Walk is over fields and farmland in Tortington to reach Ford where we will have one long break for coffee at Edgcumbes, a local roastery. We will return to Arundel, walking via the marina and alongside the River Arun on the towpath. The walk traverses some very wet fields (even when the sun is shining) and marshland. There are two stiles and a number of wooden bridges which are very slippery. If it is raining or rained the previous day, this walk will be amended to an out and back linear walk along the towpath.
One of the main objectives of the walk is to go for coffee. We will stop for 30+ minutes depending on how long it takes for everyone to get served. There isn't really anywhere else to sit/wait, so if you don't want to stop for coffee, the walk may not be for you!
