We set off, having coffeed up and breakfasted, heading out through Ladywell Fields. The Nordic walking teacher called out a cheery goodbye and good wishes for our ride. I reciprocated, although wasn’t sure what to substitute for the word “Ride” to describe their activity. Have a good Nordic walk sounded a little odd. I had decided to take a new route out of town into Kent, being a bit bored… Read More »Whitstable:The Long Way. Not the Wrong Way,
