We rewarded ourselves with Spanish/Argentinian tapas and steak in Rochester after our 7 plus hours walk. ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฅฉ

We walked along the River Medway into Gillingham (where we stopped in a beautiful old 1700s pub The Ship Inn), then past the Historic Chatham Dockyard

Finally we escaped the clay and the sun came out which was a much nicer experience โ๏ธ

The next section of walking was in clay fields which just stuck to our boots. The clay just kept sticking and building up till it felt like we had heavy lead boots on platform shoes!! Such hard work to cover very short distances.

Today we did a 34km/21 mile hike from #Swale (by the Sheppey Bridge Crossing) to #Rochester, mainly along the original #SaxonShoreWay
The first couple of hours were in strong headwinds with driving rain in our faces which was not very pleasant! โ๐ฌ๏ธ 1/6
Today we continued our walk along the #EnglandCoastPath & #SaxonShoreWay from #Faversham to #Sittingbourne
It took 7 hours to walk 24.1 miles/38.8 km (26.7 miles/42.8 km if we include the walk to Margate station & back)
We started with a fortifying breakfast in Faversham 1/3
Today we did a 15 mile/24 km walk from #HerneBay to #Faversham
We caught the train to Herne Bay and then walked along the #EnglandCoastPath and the #SaxonShoreWay which took us just under four and a half hours, along the coast and then up Faversham Creek to reach the harbour.
Enjoyed the walk from Sittingbourne to Sheppey Crossing. So much to see and explore. Going through hundreds of photos I took there last Saturday.

Teynham to Oare Creek in Kent, beautiful day after the recent cold snap. Flat water on the Swale looking over to The Isle of Sheppey.
