LATEST ‘ADVENTURE’
For 2012, I shall be attempting, where possible, to walk the entire shoreline of Kent and Sussex.
It's a great way to gain a new perspective on our coastline, while discovering chalk archways, shipwrecks and long, shingle beaches.
OUTDOORS IN KENT & SUSSEX
thehiker.co.uk is not just about walking and hiking.
Fishing, cycling, paragliding, sand kiting, boat wrecks, oddities, wildlife, photography, off roading, everything outdoors I can think of will be covered.
Subjects always welcome.

Click the sunset for local walks – there's even something for wheelchair users.
This short but delightful stretch of shoreline from Hastings town to Black Rock below Hastings Country Park, Sussex is a fantastic place to get away from it all. With sculptured rocks, decaying ruins, sandy beaches and a small waterfall, it’s a must to explore. More info…

Blimey! I didn’t think that walking along the shoreline of Kent & Sussex could be so dangerous. A friend and I walked along the shingle at Crab Bay under the cliffs two weeks before the fall. We wouldn’t have stood a chance. So again, please be very careful when exploring the shoreline, you never know what might happen! Cliff fall story.

Langdon Hole at the White Cliffs of Dover, Kent, has a zig zag path leading to a stepladder which gives access to the Kent shoreline. This story, Walkers Fall, covers two walkers who suffered injuries whilst on the path. So please be careful if attempting any of the routes mentioned.

Part 4 of my shoreline walk around Kent and Sussex. This walk takes you from Hastings Country Park to Cliff End, Sussex along the cliff tops, returning via the shoreline and Hastings Country Park. Click here for a lovely day out.

As part of my shoreline walks around Kent and Sussex, I completed a section from Pett Level to Hastings Country Park (HCP). Parking near the coastguard station at Fairlight, the route begins along the cliff tops to Pett Level. The return is along the shoreline to the nudest beach. This sunset is on the shore below HCP, just below the steps which lead to the cliff path.

- Grey seal or harbour seal?
I have seen seals while fishing off Dungeness, Sussex and from the sea wall at Samphire Hoe, Kent, but this is the first time I have witnessed them in the entrance to Rye Harbour, Sussex. It was lovely to see playing in the sandy shallows and a younger pup poked its head up but didn’t linger. Went back the following day but sadly they had gone.
