Romney Marsh and Dymchurch

Yesterday (Sunday) my walking group had a 13 mile walk from Hythe along the Royal Military Canal, then via Burmarsh along the sewers to Dymchurch: then back along the seafront, back across the fields to Botolph's Bridge and then through West Hythe along the other side of the canal to Hythe. No hills to speak of, very humid conditions, but a grand walk nevertheless. Sewers is the name given to the drainage dykes which criss-cross the Marsh. They do not carry sewage as we understandit. Lunch in Dymchurch was a bit uninspiring -I and two friends found a cafe where the best we could do was toasted cheese and ham sandwiches. A sunny morning, but threatening skies in the afternoon, but in fact we kept dry throughout. The canal is very pretty, used only by anglers at this distance from Hythe. I don't think I'd walk on Romney Marsh regularly, it can get uninteresting and is less scenic and more intensely farmed than the Oare and Faversham marshes.
