20 Mile Walk along the Seafront!

Hastings Parkrun Early Leaders 

This included the same landmarks I mention in last week's blog, but my brother and I doubled the distance on the Saturday just gone by walking on to Pevensey Bay and back. This was the calm before yeaterday's 'storm' and did start off a wee bit damp, but soon cleared up, and was a very fine afternoon indeed!

And they keep on passing us! 

I have written about Hastings Parkrun a number of times before, eg blog, and on Saturday, despite the miserable early conditions, 282 runners completed the run, the first finisher completed the 5 km in 17 minutes and 36 seconds, my respect to all the runners! See their website for full results.


OK, so we obviously went on beyond Bexhill this Saturday, our lunchtime turning point being at Pevensey Bay, where we admired Sandcastle, an early example of when art deco meets the modern (wowhaus website), indeed it was built the year before building work was commenced on the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill (website), which I found enlightening! We also walked a wee bit beyond Sandcastle.


Of course we had to have a drink at the 16th century Castle Inn in Pevensey (website) and a couple of pints of Harvey's Sussex Best before heading back eastwards...

Walking Home, way over there!

So another enjoyable walk along the seafront and refreshing too, cheers!
