27th Dec 2005 The Annual
Christmas Walk
Today was
the day of the sailing club’s Christmas walk. The wind was from the
north east at about 20 mph, The wind chill was -10o C And the
snow clouds were looming ……..A Perfect day for an 8-mile Hike!!
We started
from the clubhouse and walked along the seawall. Just as we approached
the Sportsman Public house, the heavens open but instead of rain it was
snow (well Hail).

By this time, with the Northeast wind we were all cold and damp but
regardless we all pressed on.
From here
we walked along the sea wall though all the gates to keep the cows out
(gate stiles) and past the scarecrow.
By This
time we were freezing and quite spread out. We walked on past Castle
Coote and up Faversham creek to towards the Shipwrights public house,
but on the wrong side of the creek. This meant we were more than half
way.

But we couldn’t stop for 3 reasons
1.The pub
was closed
2.We had
no boat
3. We all
wanted to get back to a warm fire and chilli
From here
we headed to the end of the footpath where (Out the wind) we took a
break to let the ‘tail end Charlies’ catch up.

We then headed back, via footpaths, towards the clubhouse.
There was
one field that stood out from all the rest (it was horrible!) the mud
was a type of clay which stuck to the soles of our shoes so when we
reached the road we were about 6 inches taller than we were when we
entered the field.
But it
wasn’t that bad, as the last part was on the road, so every one could
bang the mud off their shoes. Then as we reached the Sportsman public
house we re-joined the sea wall, and walked back to the clubhouse.
During the
walk Dave Lincoln stayed behind to cook us some baked potatoes and
chilli, which turned out to be a little hotter than expected. However it
was very welcomed by every one. So thanks Go to Dave Lincoln for the
Food and Lesley and Chris Stafford for organising the walk
