My walking group, the White Cliffs Ramblers, are publishing a calendar for next year containing details of 12 walks around South and East Kent. I've just collected a proof copy for checking, it looks good and it will be in shops locally before long. I've provided 7 of the photos, including the cover photo reproduced here.I've always enjoyed walking, but in the last 3 years Madeleine and I started walking with the group and found it a very enjoyable and social activity. Earlier I tried golf, but Mark Twain had it absolutely right when he said golf spoils a good walk. Trouble is, I don't think like a golfer. It's not for me, and I've now given it up completely. I've got more involved with my group, who are part of the Ramblers Association, and whose website can be found at http://www.kentramblers.org.uk/ I've now become the Membership Secretary for White Cliffs.Our walks give lots of opportunities for photography, even if it is on the hoof. For this I use a Canon Ixus 750, kept in a side pocket, and have learnt to react quickly to a scene, and to walk fast to catch up again. It's one of the few digital compacts with a viewfinder, none of this nonsense about using the backscreen. This photo however was taken with my Canon 400 DSLR. The background is the cliffs at St Margaret's Bay, near Dover.
