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)

Honestly I’ve just walked 10 miles in baking midday sun, so let’s just pretend this is a sketch – Dover at last!

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.

Margate to Ramsgate. First coffee of the day at Turner contemporary.

Starting with a quick one in Margate

Sketching in Botany Bay was aborted due to a freak shower, instead I cowered with 20 others in a tiny open shelter whilst the wind farm faded from view behind black skies. Thanks BBC weather.

Kingsgate Castle brought the sunshine with it

Beautiful bays along the way thronged with bank holiday beach goers and pounding base.
