START OF WALK: Drove to Sittingbourne Rail Station , park the car for the whole day, approx. £6.00, caught a train to Rainham (had to wait 20mins we just missed one whilst we were in the carpark). Walked from Rainham Rail Station along Station Road towards the seafront and Otterham Quay to meet the Saxon Shore Way.
WEATHER: 11-14C Cloudy, some sunshine, Wind NW 9mph changing to ESE 9mph
WALK DESCRIPTION:
DISTANCE: 17.95 miles (28.89kms) walk was recorded by MapMyWalk App on my android mobile. Previously I was using Runkeeper App, and up until March it was fine, but after they did an update everything went haywire. Not happy.
