On Monday, I left Dungeness early in the morning to pass the Lydd Range before it opened. Conditions were a bit choppier than expected, so I didn’t take any pictures, and I had a headwind the whole way, so I was pretty exhausted by the time I was off the water.
I’m now at Norman’s Bay a little bit before Eastbourne. I couldn’t land where I had planned as surf dumping on the beach looked too ferocious, so carried on another mile down the coast, until I found a spot where a large groyne provided a little bit of shelter. As luck would have it, there was a campsite right where I landed, so I’ve been enjoying hot showers and clean laundry.
The wind is ferocious today, but the forecast looks good for the next few days, so I’m hoping to cover some more miles.
Hi guy,Weather looks better for this w/end so you might make some better progress.Anyway God speed the paddle.Regards John.
Hi Guy, heard from Emily (and Shane) about your tour. What a great adventure. Hoping that the frosty weather will soon turn into a lovely British spring and will make your journey even more enjoyable. Wishing you all the best! Stefanie and Johannes
