14 September 2024. After a couple of abortive attempts to get onto the Isle of Sheppey, only to be frustrated by the Kingsferry Bridge being closed for engineering works, at last managed to cross the Swale. Arriving with the sun, and mists over the marshes. Walking clockwise around the coast, through Queenborough, past Sheerness port with its acres of car imports and exports. Through Blue Town into Sheerness itself. Following the coast below the cliffs from Minster, safe in the knowledge that the tide was on the way out. Some of the cliffs mysteriously seeming to be constructed from years and years of waste disposal. Finally rounding Warden Point, with its collection of wartime pillboxes left standing as the cliffs eroded from beneath them. And finally into Leysdown-on-Sea, with its day-out-at-the-beach atmosphere. 16 miles.
