Like many of the big coastal towns, Brighton was full of foreign students who seem to walk the streets wearing uniform yellow rucksacks and little purpose.
We set out in the bright sun along the prom. We passed fine examples of an active Britain with joggers, cyclists and keep fit classes all along the front on this sunny Saturday morning.
We arrived in Shoreham high street to many Moris Dancing groups then over a fine pedestrian and cycle bridge to the sea front.
The segregated cycle and pedestrian lane or very wide proms seem to work well for all promenade users but I wonder how it would be when there are more cyclists.
The NCN 2 starts to get a bit fragmented around Littlehampton but new developments look optomistic for the future. Bognor Regis marks the end of a week of shingle beaches, Victorian piers and promenades and home to Sue's family so a place to rest for a day.
The pier at Bognor was alive with visitors and the annual Bird Man challenge was in full swing where people dress up and attempt to fly from a platform on the pier.
