I was a volunteer in the 90s and spent a number of weekends helping in the restoration project of the Chichester Canal under the guidance of The Chichester Canal Society as it was then. It was hard work, but very rewarding.
Great to see the orange-tastic Martin! Beautiful walk along the canal. It's obvious a very popular walk w/ the locals.😀👍 Thanks for another bit of interesting history!
Great video Richard, it brought back happy memories of my youth when I walked that same section but towards Chichester with a friend of mine and two local girls we were seeing at the time.
Hi Richard, I want to walk this bit of canal from Hunston. Me and my late hubby used to stay in a b&b in Selsey and we'd often drive through Hunston not realising the canal was there! I found the car park last time I stayed a couple of years ago, so when I can drive that far, I'll go exploring.
Excellent video, I believe the Selsey Tramway bridged the canal at one point, would you make an episode about that other now almost forgotten transport link?
BY THE CHICHESTER SHIP CANAL(verse 3 of 8) Eulogised they in their ivory towers their loyalty worth not a crown hastening the day that the curtain came down on the Chichester Ship Canal... JB
Another good way to enjoy the Chichester Canal is to hire a rowing boat at the wharf and row along it a couple of miles and maybe take a picnic. The canal is not as yet navigable all the way to Chichester Harbour but you can get a fair way along it past the bend at Hunston.

Beautiful !!!
Thank you
That was very enjoyable Richard ........I hope that you and Martin go out for a pint after the show at the local pub.
Thanks Ian - lovely.
Always good with Martin in Orange.
The whole walk is lovely all the way down to Birdham, then if you like you can carry on along the harbour to west wittering
Clearly I need to continue that walk!

Now that would make a great video - thanks for the suggestion.
The British and their city names, I swear I bit my tongue twelve times just by saying the name of this town.
Really - it's simply really :)
Richard Vobes like Cambridgeshire and all the other Shires are complete tongue twisters in my opinion.
Oh dear - your poor tongue! Don't try places like Bracklesham Bay, Gloucestershire or Leominster - (actually pronounced Lempster).
Richard Vobes ouch bit my tongue again trying to pronounce them lol.
