An update of an 11 mile walk last undertaken in August 2009 and recorded on the mobile.
Today's version was walked in very pleasant conditions, with a gentle westerly breeze (sometimes heard on commentary).
Setting out from Dover, with it's history of invasion, Castle and White Cliffs, the walker is soon up on these following an improved path (the England Coast Path and The Saxon Shore Way), with views over the docks and beyond. This section tends to be busy with tourists on a sunny day.
Once beyond the lighthouse at South Foreland, the walking is quieter and 'wilder', with wonderful views of the Pas-de-Calais and Hautes-de-France (not Normandy as mentioned on the commentary!) coastline today.
Lunch is had on a bench overlooking the wonderful resort village of St Margaret's Bay.
Thereafter, having descended and ascended again, the terrain changes to a more agricultural one as the walker descends into Kingsdown and then Walmer. Now joined by the White Cliff's Country Trail, the walking is on the level, behind the shingle beach, all the way to Deal Pier.
A very good walk, on some much improved surfaces to last time, and with the section t'wixt South Foreland and Kingsdown being best in this walker's humble. The Indian Summer weather aided and abetted the enjoyment.
The decision to walk with the sun and breeze behind the walker was the correct one today.

Easy cliff walk following the Saxon Shore Way along the 'White Cliffs of Dover' to historic Deal
Dover to deal (or vice versa): 17.7 km (11 miles).
This simple walk (it should be impossible to get lost if you keep the sea on your right-hand side) is nevertheless one of the finest coastal walks in England, taking you right along the top of the famous White Cliffs of Dover. On a clear day, you get stunning views of the English Channel, and the ferries buzzing in and out of Dover Harbour, and the French coast from Boulogne to Dunkerque.

Almost 10 miles of walking along the 'White Cliffs'. Very straightforward, following the coast, which affords delightful views on a clear day. It's a fairly level walk, with a couple of climbs out of Dover and St Margaret's Bay. The final section, passing castles towards Deal is flat, walking next to the pebble beach.
