THE WHITE CLIFFS A
Loved every minute of it! My first ever group walk and made to feel so welcome. For anyone who thinks "I'd love to do this but have no-one to come with me" my advise is just go on your own, whatever your age! You won't regret it!

DOVER BREAKFAST WA
Great walk! My third of the festival. I've never walked with a group before and thought I was the wrong sort to consider joining the Ramblers but you all made me feel so welcome! I only wish I lived closer and I could join you more often

THE WHITE CLIFFS C
It was certainly challenging weather. 12 hours of rain and wind. But, when it did stop about 2am, was actually a pleasant finish to a tough event. Feet are recovering from trench foot now. Thank you to everyone involved.

THE WHITE CLIFFS C
It was a memorable White Cliffs Challenge - the wind, the rain, then the mud, more rain...Neil's resourcefulness in moving a checkpoint to save having to hold the tent all night. Thank you to everyone who looked after us, fed us and sent us back

BETTESHANGER COUNT
Many thanks to Diana and colleagues for leading this walk. The rain made it a bit of an endurance, but it was well worth a visit to this outstanding Park, and in better weather I shall attempt to repeat - but may get lost in the back streets of Deal.

Up bright and VERY early for this walk - Les started by announcing the initial climb to the Drop Redoubt was a bit of a bas***d - but the views over Dover were worth it then back by the cliffs for breakfast.
