A looped course of the Miners Way Trail in East Kent. 2 collierys visited although not much coal to see anymore. I started in wingham, passed through some quintessential Kentish villages and back to Wingham to complete the loop. A few hiccups along the way - stinging nettle season has made some paths untenable. Two marshes that the route also passes through are quite tricky to navigate, my legs are still tingling from the nettle stings. Apart from this, a delightful combination of trail and lane sections. Ran solo, unsupported carrying water and nutrition myself. Just a rather pleasant jaunt in the country for a Saturday morning.
