Walking to Whitstable

On Tuesday, my new flatmate David and I decided to go for a walk to Whitstable; a small beach town that located on the North Sea. Over the weekend, I had found a trail called the Crab and Winkle Way, that led to the town, so we decided to check it out. It turns out that the walk is 6 miles and about 2 1/2 hours long. The scenery was beautiful and the surrounding area is known as the Blean. The Blean is one of the most ancient forest areas in southern England.The Crab and Winkle Way was actually used as early as the 9th and 10th century to transfer salt from the sea to the town of Canterbury. It was a beautiful walk, but walking one way was definitely enough! We decided to take a bus back to the university. Thank goodness for that bus!
