Another stunning day but with a little more breeze around so we decided to make an early dart and return to Jurys Gap and what a difference the tide makes….

An absolute gem of a beach at low tide – stretching all the way to Dungeness in one direction and Rye Harbour and Rye Nature Reserve Beach on the other side, in the other….

With the beautiful partly dune backed Camber Sands in the middle….

We really enjoyed our walk along the sea edge catching the refreshing breeze and slight cooling factor of the shallows (though they are indeed almost warm!) and it was a shame to move on but as it is getting very warm as we get into the early afternoon we need to press on albeit we are homeward bound from here. Our next and brief stop was to Winchelsea Beach and already here the sand is beginning to be lost to the now rising tide…

By the time we make it to our last stop in Hastings the sand has gone….

We had hoped to take a decent walk in Hastings as there are several beaches but suitable parking was in short supply and it really is too hot to be walking along the promenade – so I guess we shall have to come back at some point.

It was very hot by the time we got back to sight and we needed to open all the windows and doors to allow a through breeze – even the window I don’t usually open as the blind is broken and so it is a faff and guess where the coolest spot is this evening?….
