Yesterday I went back to the walk that I couldn't finish last weekend as I couldn't find my way out of a field well yesterday we did when I say we I was with my Son Matt who is an intrepid cross country walker and great company we started at the footpath which starts at the "Lower Rochester Road"at the top end of Bill Streetwhere the roundabout is situated we walked down the footpath to Chattenden through the orchard and past the R E Depot and then over a style where the second part of our walk starts which is always full of sheep(the sheep know us by now)LOL.About half way along this field on the left is another style which we climb over and keeping to the right we proceed through the extremely tall wet grass3ft high to the end of the field right next to the dual carriageway(228)where I was told that there is a public right of way out,well there wasn't we searched thoroughly and decided that we were not going back a second time so down in to a ditch and up the other side we went through brambles finally coming on the side of the dual carriageway which was roaring with heavy traffic it was quite scary trying to cross but finally we made it me being an octogenarian (smile) hope you like the photos this walk in total was 13,000 wonderful steps.
WALKING WITH THE MEDWAY WANDERER
This is just a record of my walks with my camera and my thoughts,but not to much thinking as it can make you forget how to laugh,I reside near the River Medway in the Garden of England(North Kent) a truly wonderful location for views,wildlife,architecture ,bird reserves, and lovely friendly people,I am indeed fortunate in the place and the year of my birth,I hope that you enjoy this account of my local walks and the photos of where I venture and what I see.

Found a new walk this morning but been a bit crook lately but although a quite a long walk we took it slowly and it certainly blows away some of lifes cobwebs we went as far as we could but had to turn back as we just couldn't locate another style or gate anywhere in the field oh well it will be there on another day
