Coastwalk

Deal → Sandwich

[Fishing at low tide] Distance: 6.3 miles
Ascent: 100 metres
Duration: 2 hours 22 minutes

Fish sarnies
« Dover | Margate »

From Deal to Sandwich the coastline is flat once again. As I left Deal, the early drizzle was threatening to turn into a full shower so I paced on.

Shortly before heading inland towards Sandwich (yes, that Sandwich but I shan't tell the story here), I came across a suddenly popular stretch of beach (the rest of the beach was deserted). In one short length, I found dune buggy riders, surfers, and four old men fishing for cockles (or mussels; what is the difference?).
