New Lipchis Way I've just realised where the "New Lipchis Way" gets its name. It's a 39-mile walk from Liphook (Lip) to Chichester Harbour (chis). There's an excellent view to the east from the bank on the left of the path.

Solitary tree and vapour trails The sky was crisscrossed with multiple vapour trails. I can only assume that the sky is busy hereabouts on account of the relative proximity of Gatwick and Heathrow.
