Day #14 Ramsgate to Herne Bay.

Rochester castle.

Day #14  Ramsgate to Herne Bay.

           The storms of yesterday have moved off east into Europe, but not until they had created flood havoc in East Anglia and Cambridgeshire. Today arrived clear, mild and sunny and in fact, stayed like that all through the day. Foot travel in certainly much more pleasant and quicker, when there is no rain and wind to combat.

          The flavour of this day, and it seems that each one brings its own challenges, was in the area of navigation. I knew where I wanted to go, but seemed to continually to get locked between the major freeway to London and a rail trunk line. Promising roads to the coast seemed repeatedly to come to dead-ends with resultant back-tracking, easy to do as a car driver, but fatiguing as a pedestrian.

         I am now tracking due west along the south side of the Thames estuary, towards my river crossing point at Dartford, just east of London. At this point, the estuary is so wide, that even on a clear day, the north shore is hardly visible. Noted the wind farms off-shore and according to locals, the area is in heavy construction mode for more wind farm building all along the coast.
