With my long distance walk fast approaching and fabulous weather I decided my last training walk should be by the sea. I parked the car just outside the fishing village of Whitstable and set off for Herne Bay which would be a round trip of about 10 miles.
Lots of beach huts looking out to sea.
This group were set up for a day's fishing.

You find lots of empty oyster shells amongst the pebbles
I wonder how long it took the culprit to scratch off the word.
Mobile homes with a sea view.
A wind farm in the distance providing some renewable energy but not great views.
Jet skiers are only allowed in this one small area.
Herne Bay is very different to Whitstable with its amusement arcades, 
ice cream shops and fun fair.
It was a fabulous walk but a big mistake not to stick to my original plan. I was not wearing the correct footwear for a long walk. It was 8 miles to Reculver but of course I needed to walk back to get to my car. By the time I had walked the 16 miles my feet were blistered with some very big blisters (too big for the blister plasters I carry!). I just hope my feet heal in time before I begin the walk next week.

I was enjoying the walk and weather so much I decided to continue walking to the next small village of Reculver.
