A South East Meet - Folkestone to Dover

Sunday 20 October saw me and a few friends meet up for a walk along the Clifftops between Folkestone and Dover. I was supposed to meet them at Dover to get the train to Folkestone. But an accident on the A2 near Canterbury closed the road and i was late. Plane "B" was hatched and after a quick phone call i met them at Folkestone near the harbour.

A walk past the harbour around the sea front before starting to climb slowly onto the clifftops....

Martello Tower

.......passing a couple of Martello towers.

 Then it was along the top and onto the Battle of Britain Memorial.

From here it was just a case of keeping sea onour right all the way. From here onwards we passed some old wartime battlements and structures, all of which were explored.

Trig Point

Now as we pass ove rthe top of Samphire Hoe.....




......passing a trig point that only about 3 feet from dropping off the edge
