Another day hike, this walk worked well as I had to be in Faversham for a suit fitting at 6:30pm. So after an early start (6:30 train from Worthing) I arrived at Swale station at 9:30 ready to start walking. As soon as I could find the start point which wasn't the easiest, even though I'd been there before.

It was a glorious late spring day, around 21 degrees and I definitely caught the sun. After industrial beginnings past recycling plants, paper mills and a Dockyard, I made it through Milton Creek, where I headed up to the River Swale. Next up was Conyer Creek, the best creek of the day, I was genuinely surprised just how nice it was, especially in the spring sunshine. An added bonus was seeing a swan nesting around a dozen ducklings.

Back from there onto the Swale and past the Harty Ferry, it was then Oare Creek which joined up with Faversham Creek and eventually the town of Faversham, where I arrived in time for a couple of pints of Whitstable Bay in the town centre before my suit fitting and a three-hour train ride home.

The next legs I will definitely be wild camping, as nice as this walk was, a 6-hour round trip is too long for a day hike.
