Eastbourne and its pier in the drizzle and low cloud obscuring the Downs behind
This was the wettest bit. A "Martello Tower" (no 66) on the sea defenses.
Now it's sunny. Looking east towards Bexhill
The beach at Bexhill where I finished my orange marmalade flavour ice cream.
21.0km today in the drizzle, and later the sun, from Eastbourne to Bexhill-on-Sea #hiking #EnglandCoastPath

I've walked almost 1000 miles of the #EnglandCoastPath so far. I love it. But it simply isn't true that you can walk to the coast, turn left or right and walk beside the sea for as long as you like. Landowners prevent access to so many miles of it.
England has officially opened the world's longest coastal path, inviting you to explore breathtaking new stretches of its beautiful coastline! #EnglandCoastPath #CoastalWalks #Adventure 🏞️
Publication Day for #thecoastisourcompass, which by some miracle is the same day that the BBC announced the opening of the new King Charles III England Coast Path - the world's longest managed coastal path. #englandcoastpath #nationaltrail

Just needs a lick of paint and it'll be good as new!

It's hard sometimes to reconcile these paths alongside mud, marsh and creeks as part of the coast path. Its been a long time since we've seen the sea in this direction.
What did they mean by no photos?!
2/2 ...just hit the @lakedistrictnpa.bsky.social & your 2nd #unescoworldheritagesite! Inspired by these scenes? They're all taken from my #Cicerone guide to the NW English coast - link in bio! #EnglandCoastPath #KCIIIECP #WesternLakeDistrict @muncastercastle.bsky.social @krankenhausfest.bsky.social
Happy 2nd December - and congratulations, you've made it 29 miles all the way from the Scottish border to the @hadrianswallpath National Trail start/finish shelter at Bowness-on-Solway!

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.

We rejoined the #EnglandCoastPath to Minster-on-Sea, & had views across to Southend-on-Sea
We had lunch in Sheerness at a lovely old pub called The Red Lion, in Blue Town, a beautiful historic area which grew up alongside the Naval Dock Yard during the Napoleonic Wars

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.

Call this a coast path? 🤔
Great to see the BBC cover the dangerous proposed route for the King Charles III #EnglandCoastPath
Rather than follow the historic beach at English Heritage's Osborne estate, the coast path will go miles inland along a busy A-road 🧵

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!

Chris Goddard's new book, part of series covering entire #EnglandCoastPath. Read it for inspiration, take it for directions, savour it afterwards for memories. Glorious illustrations, hand-drawn maps, meticulous detail. Buy here gritstonecoop.co.uk/product/the-... @cordee.bsky.social
The setting sun is seen through the cage of a beacon on a pole, by a beach and the sea. There is a boat and cliffs in the distance.
Like the #sun in the night
You'll always be with me, baby
Deep in my soul
You'll always be with me
Wherever I go

We bunked off jobs to do the next bit of our #EnglandCoastPath walk. Higham (ok not on the coast, but on a disused #UKCanals instead to the QE2 Bridge.
The Thames and Medway canal turned out to be a delight. I love the history behind these waterways.
Rock Pipit, Dumpton Point.
Two Morris dancers in full costume, one carrying a traditional stick used in the dance. O/seas followers, best see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_dance (or just think of it as a Comic Con without any comics).
Three Morris dancers, in costume, enjoying the sea views.
Alongside chalk cliffs, the prom from Dumpton Gap to Broadstairs.
A quiet morning's stroll along the #EnglandCoastPath between Ramsgate and Broadstairs railway stations.
At least it was until I had to stick my finger in my ear, sing thru' my nose and dance thru' crowds for the final mile as had totally forgotten Folk Week would be on 😇

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.
A wide river has a smaller one flowing into it, with a sandbank stretching to one side. On the other side of the large river are houses.
A river winding between shallow muddy banks, passing through a large flood defence barrier (raised) and onwards.
Looking down into a river, with trees by its side. The trees are mostly leafless, but there are many leaves on the ground.
A thin river flows from one side of the photo to the other, in the distance a flock of sheep are mostly sitting, with trees behind them.
Darent - I know you mostly from the @thamespathnt.bsky.social / #EnglandCoastPath route that goes up and down to get back to the #Thames and under the #M25, and a brief sighting at a friend's wedding. But what I've seen is wonderful, and you've your own path, so I'll return (12/35)

A large ferry with 'TRANSMANCHEFERRIES' on the side is seen under a sunset sky. The sun is directly above it, and appears to be a strange bowl shape with clouds around it.

Someone stads near a cliff edge taking a photo with a phone, carrying a green Waitrose bag. Right on the edge of the cliff stands a seagull, its head turned towards them.
"Mate, MATE - I got *wings*. Unless you're hiding feathers in that Waitrose bag - be careful!"
