Lydd → Hythe, Kent

Distance: 18.4 miles
Ascent: 341 metres
Duration: 6 hours 5 minutes

Turning north again
« Rye | Folkestone »

For a long time I'd been saving the Dungeness → Hythe section so that I could walk it in the company of friends. A good length walk along the beach, and a steam train ride back to the car. It seemed like the perfect place to celebrate completing my thousandth mile of coast. But a combination of frustration from not reaching Dungeness on Monday and a desire to crack on meant that I walked the entire section today after reaching Dungeness from Lydd.

And I'm glad I did: it was a tedious, dull walk.
