Climping Gap
Climping Gap is a circular walk of 4.23 miles and should take about 2.5 hours to complete. The terrain is mixed with some parts easy going but other areas more taxing especially along the beach. Bikes are not recommended nor are baby buggies. Dogs are allowed but please keep them under control.
The walk passes through areas of SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) SNCI (Site of Nature Conservation Importance) and LNR ( Local Nature Reserve) so please respect your surroundings.
Wildlife and flora and fauna to look out for include
Oystercatchers
Mermaids Purse
Ringed Plovers
Painted Ladys
Sand Catchflys
Common Lizards
Sea Kale
Marram Grass
The walk consists of 13 traditional caches with 1 bonus to find so please remember to collect the clues. Most are large micros which need to be screwed back tightly but please don't over-do it. There are 3 small caches but you please bring a pen or pencil with you. The paths can become muddy in the winter or after heavy rain so walking boots are recommended. At the time of placing the caches the footpaths were generally good.
There is parking available at N50° 48.116 W000° 32.594 which is a pay and display car park.
At the time of placing the caches the cost of parking there was £3.15 for 3 hours. Unfortunately there isn't any where else nearby to park. To access the car park go down Ferry Road from the A259 and follow the signs for the Littlehampton golf course. Continue past the golf course down a single track road and you will come to the car park. There are toilet facilities during the day.
We hope you enjoy the walk.
