Friday 26th June 2026 – a late afternoon wander down through Bognor Regis to the beach….

Just a slight bit cooler today with a little light cloud around and definitely more breeze so leaving it until four we ventured down the couple of miles through Bognor Regis via The Bell Tower in Hotham Park….

Walking along the promenade to the East beyond the massive Butlins Holiday Park is Felpham Beach….

And then turning back on ourselves we wandered along the promenade above Bognor Regis Beach towards the Pier and centre of town….

We wandered a little way out onto the Pier to enjoy lovely views of the beach to the east and west with a fine bit of low tide sand exposed….

A little further along a small number of small fishing boats hauled up high on the pebbles out of the tides way….

At this point we made our way back through the centre of town with the highpoints being Poundland, Iceland and New Look and suffice to say that if you are in need of a 10+ year old BMW with a questionable paint job and no exhaust then Bognor is your kind of place.

It is not ours and so we made a hasty return along the footpath, alongside the busy dual carriageway that runs from the centre out through an extensive but not glamorous retail park to the leafy oasis that is the campsite.

Today’s stats:

Thursday 25th June 2026 – busy doing nothing….

An absolute scorcher of a day from start to finish so we decided against attempting to drive or walk anywhere and just relaxed in the shade of the van / awning and kept all activity to a minimum!

Fortunately Bersted Nature Reserve is next door to the site so we popped there first and last thing for Tilly to have a bit of a run about and a change of scene….

A break from watching rabbits munching their way through the day on the short grass of the site….

Uber frustrating when you are on a lead and the rabbits soon learn the limit to which you can reach!

Meanwhile – I am planning, thinking and doing the odd domestic chore!
