Capel to Ramsgate 26miles
A long day beckoned so I had a 8.15am start wth a bus to my start point at Capel, it was then onto Dover and on the way I took a pic of where the channel tunnel leaves England. The walking was very up and down all the way to St Margarets Bay, the views were fantastic with all the white chalk cliffs. Today was also a day of three castles at Dover, Deal and Walmer and lots of golf courses climaxing with the Wembley of all GC's at Sandwich which is the venue of this years British Open. They were well on the way to getting the GC at Sandwich ready for the Open with the erecting of the stands near the start/finish of the course, I was lucky as the path I was on cut right across the whole course :). As I walked thru Sandwich I was a bit dissapointed as the town itself is nice but they have built a big ugly industrial estate less than 1/2 a mile out of town...a real blight. The rest of the walk was along the river Stour which led onto Ramsgate, I arrived at the B&B at 5pm which is nearly 9hrs walking, I was very achey and tired but very satisfied with my days achivement. The Abbeygail B&B is very nice, in fact I quite like Ramsgate :)
