Rainham and Littlehampton

Well having not seen my cousin Lee since 2016 we decide to head for Overshore CS, Rainham , Kent. We were booked in for four nights so time to see Lee and look round some of our old haunts.
Lee now keeps her Shetland pony's on this site, so we saw her each morning as she came down to let her 'boys' out.

On the Tuesday we had a run down the coast to Herne Bay, Westgate and Margate. We enjoyed that run as the weather was good. Lizzie used to work in Herne Bay, and I spent a few holidays at Westgate.

Westgate!

Margate, from the Tate!

On the Thursday we cleared up and set off  for Littlehampton CC site. We had a good drive down, avoiding motorways. In view of a very windy weather forecast we set ourselves up on a pitch that had high hedges to the south and the west so we were really well protected.
This is an area neither of us knew so we did two road trips out, one to the east and the other to the west.
Our first trip out was to the east. We took the A27 to Eastbourne and then then headed for Beachy head! That was impressive!

We then came back along the coast road through Seaford, Newhaven, Brighton and finally back to Littlehampton. It was a really good dive, where we saw some lovely places and some that were not too lovely!

The next day we popped down to Selsey Bill, but there is little access to the beach. We drove round to the very impressive new lifeboat station, and I looked at the nice new Lifeboat!

When then left to drive back. We headed down a pebbly road which then turned into a full off-roading experience! Too narrow to turn round so we had to keep going! Some of the water was very deep! Soon we were onto the main road and off home.

Back at the site the railway passed very close, with the Level Crossing opening every 5 minutes in the morning rush hour. As you can expect I took a few photos.

After a couple more lazy days we cleared up and set off for home, determined to come back in the future to this coast!
