This walk combines two pleasant coastal towns with some good coastal scenery around Chichester Harbour. Start at Bosham, in West Sussex, which is well worth exploring, especially the Bosham Walk shops and the quayside. The route then follows coastal footpaths around the channels and mudflats that mark this coast - bird watchers will want to bring their binoculars with them. Finish at Emsworth, another interesting town just over the border in Hampshire.

I have tried to down load the GPX file for your Bosham to Emsworth walk but without success. I get various messages saying that the file is corrupt or that I need to subscribe to Adobe PDF reader. Can you tell me how to down load the GPX, I have a new Oregon 650t which I'm learning to use. Many thanks Steve
