Yachts: Castles and Candy Floss in Littlehampton

Briefing will be by e-mail to participants. Start either Sunday 15th or Monday 16th, depending on draft across the bar. Those not wishing to cross the bar at anything other than optimum tidal conditions should book their preferred (ie free) marina for Gosport for the Sunday evening. A quick one in the Castle. According to taste, then a Chinese or Indian. Gunwharf a possibility. Arrival at Littlehampton should be timed for HW-2 to HW+1, optimum HW -1. Blockhouse to Littlehampton 26nm. Up to 15 boats, rafted. Fish & chips/candy floss readily available close to berth. Tuesday dinghy cruise up the Arun starting about two hours before high water and a stroll round Arundel while the tide turns, returning to Littlehampton for dinner in the Arun View.( Menu and prices comparable to the club.) Return Wednesday, with the option of taking a falling tide across the bar or going to Gosport for a return on Thursday.
