King Charles Path VII

When you’re done walking, take the train.

Winston Churchill at Dungeness – these trains don’t sit around long, so you have to be quick!

Dover to Folkestone.

Bemused passers-by look, speak, blow and listen from both ends of Marc Schmitz and Dolgor Ser-Od’s, Siren. Martello looks on unamused.

Deal to Dover. Stunning.

Oldstairs Bay and bum crack (homage to a sit down)
St Margaret’s Bay sizzles in the distance
South Foreland Lighthouse – cowering in the *only* shady spot with a view
Honestly I’ve just walked 10 miles in baking midday sun, so let’s just pretend this is a sketch – Dover at last!

A leisurely start at ‘The Waiting Room’, Sandwich, looking down Delf Street
A muddy paddle with Pegwell and Ramsgate in the distance
After 10 miles of walking depth of field escaped me at Deal Castle, but it was fun getting intimate with the varied brickwork

King Charles Path III

Cliffs End to Sandwich.

After the Viking longship, the Pegwell Bay Country Park is pretty, apart from the high speed quad bikes and giant rats, but escape before you hit the swaying Poplar trees, otherwise here’s what lies ahead…

Throw the OS map in the bin and get the bus (unless it’s a bank holiday and there is no bus)

However, Sandwich is standalone picturesque.
