Hundred
« Rainham | Allhallows-on-Sea »

This, my hundredth coastwalk, represented the other ninety-nine in miniature. All the usual features were there. The worry as to whether I'd left the car somewhere safe. The yuppie flats, industrial estates and marinas. A power station. A path made impassable by chest-high nettles. Extended road-walking. Hacking inland to avoid the advancing tide. Missing the bus, stumbling upon a taxi, writing the walk up over a strawberry milkshake.
