RIVERS OF SUSSEX |
|
Sussex is blessed with some of the nicest countryside in Britain. And with great countryside, comes great rivers. It was only right that McCarthy and Witham celebrate the great rivers that our county has to offer, by visiting them all in one day. It was an emotional journey, and a test of endurance that will live long in the memory |
 |
 |
| We pass through Newhaven on our way to the first river, and see this sign for the rehabilitation centre. It raised a smile | The blessed countryside that lies between Seaford and Newhaven |
 |
 |
| Our first sighting - we cross the Cuckmere | After parking and a walk, we are riverside! |
 |
 |
| McCarthy dips his net into here | It wouldn't be complete without getting a bit of foot in her either |
 |
 |
| In they go | This handy map helped guide us to the point on the river where the dipping occurred |
 |
 |
| No caption needed | A road sign that is up with the best of them, including "Humped zebra crossing" |
 |
 |
| Newhaven port, the estuary of the River Ouse | It also has a beach, which we were about to explore |
 |
 |
| Sand is so much fun to inscribe things into - firstly something basic | Then moving up - "Scotts 18 inch penis laid here" |
 |
 |
| Tom Witham spent a while on this masterpiece! Firstly, he dug a crater, then added the text "Toms penis created this crater" | We visit Bramber, and the river Adur |
 |
 |
| She is a fine one, although the 5 1/2 knots speed limit was a disappointment | Witham looks edible with a backdrop of such elegance |
 |
 |
| McCarthy looks out for the wildlife | Moving on, we visit Pulborough and the river Arun |
 |
 |
| Looking across a particularly nice flood plane | We questioned where this swan/goose whatever it is could fit its neck into. A thought which rounded off a wonderful day |
