42a – Dungeness to Lydd
The trek inland from Dungeness, around Lydd Ranges, is rather a long one, involving about 6½ miles of road. The first section, from Dungeness to Lydd, is along the Dungeness Road. This is a fast road with no pavement, meaning my … Continue reading
41c – Leaving Dungeness
It is impossible to walk out of Dungeness by heading west. Lydd Ranges bar the way. You have to walk north, inland, and circumnavigate the Ranges. There is still a choice on how to leave, however: the road, or a … Continue reading

40d – Entering Dungeness
Dungeness is Britain’s only desert. It seems strange to have a desert in the UK, particularly one that lies on the coast and which is also surrounded by man-made lakes. But Dungeness is, officially, a desert. It is said that … Continue reading

40c – Greatstone to Dungeness
As we left Greatstone, two youths trundled onto the beach where it had been exposed by the receding tide. One of them pulled a home-made cart behind him, consisting of a plastic crate fastened to some pram wheels. The other carried … Continue reading

40b – Littlestone to Greatstone
We left Littlestone by way of the dunes which ran alongside the beach. They acted as something of a windbreak, and the ground was easygoing. Eventually we wanted to be closer to the sea, so we walked onto the wide expanse of … Continue reading
