The white cliffs of Dover

Another out-of-London escape! This time, off Mr Handsome and me went to the ferry port of Dover, in South East England and started our hike around the countryside with London-based hiking group Trailblazers. Its the narrowest part of the English Channel there and we saw a bit of France in the distance! The very first person to swim the English Channel was in 1875. It took almost 22 hours. We saw the spot where frenchman (sore topic there) Louis Bleriot's successful 37-minute flight over the Channel landed in 1909 and won him £1000. We saw ginger afro's and chalk grafitti. We saw idle seagulls and wild horses. Grey bebble beaches and  yellow rapeseed fields. And like any respectable British hike, we ended it off with a pub lunch and a game of darts.
