Swale to Rainham (Kent) via. Saxon Shore Way
Our latest group adventure along the Saxon Shore Way took us from Swale (Kingsferry Bridge) to Rainham, Kent. After an early start from London and a journey that felt like an adventure before the walking had even begun, we set off along one of England's most historic trails.

Rainham to Grays
This is far from the most beautiful stretch of the Thames estuary, but it was a lot more beautiful on a sunny Summer day than the windy February I walked it before.
The early part of the section, on the LOOP, has been spruced up with new walkways and wild…

London LOOP | Section 24 | Rainham to Purfleet (Extended to Grays)

With the weather so wet, I declined walking on Saturday, & needed something on the Sunday instead. Having been thinking about the London Stone & never having seen it, I decided to go to visit it. There is a DLR ride between Limehouse & Bank included, as I had lim8ted…

Wye Circular - recommended route
I've done a few variations on this route, but this was probably the best. The North Downs are particularly dramatic at Wye, with the "Devil's Kneading Bowl" Valley offering some fascinating geology & probably the best views of Kent.Taking the steps down from the ridge & the footpaths through the…

River Chelmer from Chelmsford
After cancelling a shared walk after noticing my cat looking unwell (he soon perked up, but too late) I needed a walk with plenty of departure options, so off to Chelmsford it was. I'd been looking at this area with the aim of getting out to Paper Mill lock at…

River Shuttle
The hike began at New Eltham Station, where the first stretch felt quite built up and suburban. But once we joined the River Shuttle, the route quickly became greener, quieter, and far more scenic than expected.
One of the early highlights was passing Charlton Athletic Training Ground, before reaching the…
