Don't harbour idea - get out and expolore
THE latest packed programme of activities based around Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has been released.
The programme organised by Chichester Harbour Conservancy features more than 220 walks, activities and boat trips during the coming year.
A highlight of the programme will be the bi-annual Festival of Working Boats, on Thursday, April 15.
Many colourful boats will be alongside the jetty at Itchenor ready to welcome you onboard.
People of all ages will enjoy exploring the boats and meeting the crews that make their living on the waters of Chichester Harbour.
For history buffs there are two new activities. The first is a talk about the secret airfield at Apuldram during the Second World War.
Later in the year there will be an opportunity to hear how the harbourside communities have developed over the decades while enjoying a trip on the Solar Heritage.
There are a number of art and photography sessions - from digital photography to driftwood art, culminating in an exhibition of work inspired by the harbour at Chichester Yacht Club.
A fine selection of guided walks is on offer. From just a few miles to day-long hikes there are plenty of opportunities for people of all ages to get out and explore the wonderful harbour footpaths.
There are lots of activities for families. Little ones will enjoy the cuddly toy walks, while older ones may like to learn to fish or have a fun and wet time on the Splash Walk.
Many enjoy seeing the harbour from the water. Regular trips will run on the Solar Heritage, a solar-powered boat taking up to 50 passengers.
To experience the thrill of sailing in a vintage work boat, join one of the trips onboard Terror departing from Emsworth in the summer.
