Sussex Botanical Recording Society is leading a New Year Plant Hunt at Pagham Shore, where there is easy access, car parking, toilets and plenty of plants likely to be in flower; previous years’ totals have exceeded 60 species.

The car park is on rough ground at SZ 89069 97355, at the junction of Sea Lane and Beach Road. It’s usually free, but occasionally about £3 cash in a bucket is required.

Please bring a hot drink to have at a stop en route. Pagham Beach Cafe should be open for coffee/refreshments afterwards.
