Nick Haseltine

21st March 2026. 5.4miles. I grew up on the north-Kent coast so have always felt very at home with the marshes which stretch across forming the Swale and Medway estuaries. This is an area of Charles Dickens Great Expectations , where you expect Magwitch to crawl out from behind a church grave. My book Grid 178 is based on the area. The walk is part of the Saxon Shore Line and also the King Charles III Coastal Walk, and it was an easy walk along the top of the dykes. I planned a walk yesterday...
