Walk 59

Hastings to Lydd 18miles

With a clear blue sky and the smell of sun tan lotion in my nostrils I knew this week was going to be a good un!. A nice steep climb out of Hastings started the walk with a fabulous view over the bay(see pic), the next 5 miles to Fairlight continued with up and down valleys and I could have be mistaken that I was back in Devon or Cornwall! After Fairlight came Winchelsea Beach(see Pic) and then onto Rye and Camber Sands. The third pic is of Camber Castle which bizzarely is in the middle of a farmers field( or should that be the other way round!) no access to the castle other than on foot....after talking with a "local" it turns out the castle was actually by the sea until 1278 but due to the opposite of global warming(?) it is now 6 miles inland. The final part of todays walk was past Dungeness Nuclear Pwr Station and on to Lydd.
