Folkestone

Just back from a lovely weekend away to Folkestone with our friends Liz and Chase.  We stayed at the Little Switzerland which had stunning views.

Viking Coastal Trail

We travelled to Nethercourt Touring Park after work on Friday, a perfect place to start our 33 mile bike ride on the Saturday as it was just off of the Viking Coastal Trail.

The bike ride took us around the coast through Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Margate and Reculver, before heading back through some pretty little villages.  The route is fairly well signposted (route 15) with signs like this:

It's advisable to stick to what it says on the signs, otherwise you might end up doing something like this:

It's worth noting that some of the trail has limitations in peak season (from May - September) where you have to push your bike.  Thankfully, it's February now so this wasn't a problem.  The weather wasn't too bad and we even saw a bit of blue sky at times.

We found a friend for Amelie too!  We liked the colour of this one, we might paint our T25 this colour next year.

After a long day of cycling, we treated ourselves to a cheese fondue in the van.  Yum!

The next day, we headed to Broadstairs in the van.  It was so sunny and warm, we ate outside.  

Thanks Amelie for another brilliant weekend!
