Walk from Canterbury to Dover - 16/17 July

We headed off to Canterbury early on Saturday morning. We started walking at about 9:30, and passed the cathedral, went through town, and headed off into a farm. The weather was fantastic, very hot, and there was a lot of shady spots along the way. We walked through some seriously big fields, and some seriously little villages. We got to our pitstop about 4 and a half hours later. A little village called Sheppardswell. On arrival we were greated with the sound of some country and western tunes. It was the Annual Jamboree, so lots going on. 2 burgers, 2 cooldrinks for £3. The band was some local farm boys, and they even played a somewhat similar rendition of Green Day's latest number. We located our B&B, called sunshine cottage, and explored the village. The pubs normally aren't open for grub in the evenings, but the one had the local golf club having a function, so they said we could get some food. Actually was very good. We were up early, had a good breakfast at the B&B and then headed off in the direction of Dover. Really changing scenery, with farmlands, orchards, woodland, and forest. We walked down into Dover passed a huge, beautifully scenic graveyard. It was about 35km's of walking, and we decided that wasn't enough, so we headed off to Langdon Cliffs (the white cliffs), and walked another 10km's. Awesome blue skies, great contrast to the whiteness of the cliffs. After the walk, and a view over the really busy port, I decided to test the waters, and had a really quick swim. All in all, a really cool weekend.
