What glorious morning in Sussex. As Gorse Fox headed away from God's own County, he couldn't help but reflect on the stunning site that reveals itself as you drive towards Arundel from the east. A light mist softened the flood plain by the river and the sun picked out the magnificent castle which dominates the town and the neo-Gothic Cathedral which overlooks everything. GF always wants to stop and take a photo, but the traffic is such that it never gives the opportunity.

The journey to Worcester was pleasant enough until Gorse Fox arrived at the M5. The sun had disappeared, and the rain was falling in torrents.
