More to come, but here’s a ghostly excerpt from my solstice night in a church on the marsh, just to broadcast something live, as it were. Here I explain the first inspiration for my adventure—Charles Dickens #NightInAChurch #WinterSolstice #IsleOfSheppey #DickensGhosts
St Thomas’s church, Harty, Isle of Sheppey.
Sheppey marshes
Would you spend the night all alone in a tiny ancient church with no water or electricity, out on the marshes on the longest night of the year? Well, in the interests of my next book, that’s what I’m doing tonight. Updates to follow! #WinterSolstice #ChristmasGhosts #naturewriting #IsleofSheppey
The #IsleofSheppey is no longer a mystery to us! Having walked the entire circumference of the island, we saw it has many beautiful areas (and some not so).

Our final section of the walk took us back along the banks of The Swale, passing a pink lake (apparently natural algae) and back to the Kingsferry Bridge and across to Swale to catch our train home.

The next section was very industrial, taking us past a facility storing thousands and thousands of new cars waiting to be sold. We were rewarded with the pretty fishing village of Queenborough next, where we had a refreshment stop in a lovely old pub.

We managed to almost dry our boots overnight but they were very quickly wet again this morning as we set off in torrential rain. We did have lots of sunny spells today but a few periods of heavy rain.

Today we completed our walk around the whole of the Isle Of Sheppey. We walked 18.5 miles/29.5 km in just over 6 hours, from Leysdown-on-Sea back to Swale on the mainland, where we started yesterday morning.

The mystery around the #IsleOfSheppey has now lifted for us. It has a beautiful coast.
Tonight we are staying in a caravan at Leysdown-On-Sea. Hopefully our boots dry out before we head off again in the morning! 🥾🥾

With the weather improving we had views down the coast to Reculver Towers and out to sea to the Maunsell WW2 Forts.

We did an 18 mile/29 km hike from Swale to Leysdown-On-Sea on the opposite side of #IsleOfSheppey on the #EnglandCoastPath
The weather forecast was atrocious for today but we were very lucky for the first half of the walk & apart from being very windy, we remained mostly dry 2/5
We caught a train back to Swale this morning and this time headed across the Kingsferry Bridge onto the #IsleOfSheppey
The Isle's always been a mystery to us & 18 years after moving to this part of the world, we're finally exploring it!

3/3 From the Sheppey Crossing we walked into the village of #Iwade for a late lunch in The Woolpack. We then walked back inland to catch a train from Sittingbourne to Margate.
Today was a very long walk but it was fairly easy terrain. Next will be the actual #IsleOfSheppey
2/3 We walked out of #Faversham to the village of #Oare & headed back out to the coastal path
After a stop at The Ship Inn, in the village of Conyer, the next leg of the walk took us around a power station and industrial estate & onto the Isle Of Sheppey bridge. #isleofsheppey
OWL-asis in a feathery face off! A pair of little owls are seen in a heated argument, reminiscent of the Gallagher brothers. The birds were pictured on the Isle of Sheppey, UK.
