It looked like I had picked the wrong week to do a road trip. My last few days in Folkestone Kent and it was very wet and windy with a few breaks of sunshine through the clouds. What follows is a few shots I got from around Deal, Hythe and Sandgate on the Kent coast.

The White Cliffs Of Dover
Being in Folkestone, not far away along the Kent coast was Dover and the famous white cliffs. Given a break in the winter weather I really wanted to do the walk along the White Cliffs of Dover.

Elham Valley Kent
One good thing with being on a road trip, staying in a hotel, you are more motivated to get outside rain or shine. The rain and clouds had returned with a vengeance, after a break of one day along the north downs. Based in Folkestone, I decided to take a trip inland to the Elham Valley.

Folkestone North Downs Way
When in Folkestone, you can’t help notice the surrounding backdrop of the North downs hills. There was a break in the gloomy winter weather, it was going to be a sunny day, blues skies and a gentle breeze. I was heading up those hills of the North Downs Way.

The Warren Folkestone Kent
I began my roadtrip in the south east of the UK at Folkestone in Kent. I have friends living there I could visit and the hotels were cheap. Folkestone is also good for walks and landscape photography with some dramatic coastline heading to the Warren and the Kent and North downs as a great backdrop.

Worth Forest West Sussex
A winter walk through Worth Forest
Before starting my road trip proper, I needed to return to my home town of Crawley in West Sussex from Hastings. I would be in the area for a few days and intended to do some walks while there with Worth Forest looking like a good location due to the cloudy overcast and stormy weather.

Back in Hastings East Sussex
I’m back! from outer space. After completing my works contract in Hastings I did some travelling abroad from September until end of November. So I missed all those autumn colours. I returned to Hastings end of November and was looking forward to getting back into some landscape photography around the UK through the winter months.

Friston Forest White Horse View
Although I had covered most of the South Downs in East Sussex over the last year, there were still pockets left undiscovered. I also realised this late in the day I not have a good landscape photo of the White Horse on high and over. That was where I was heading via hiking through Friston forest.

Crane Down Folkington Hill East Sussex
The forecast was a cloudy Saturday morning but needed to get out for a good walk and not too far away. My initial plan was a walk from Wilmington over Crane Down and then onto Friston forest.

Wolstonbury Hill South Downs West Sussex
While ascending Ditchling beacon on the south downs I noticed the outline of Wolstonbury hill on the border in West Sussex. I knew then I would return to walk to its summit and take some landscape photographs from there.

Full Moon Ditchling South Downs
It was that time of the month when the moon would rise on the south east horizon close to the sun setting in the north west, at least over the weekend. I would head back to the south downs for an evening walk to capture the moon and the sun but where?

Boxley North Downs Kent
I had selected a few locations within Kent that looked interesting from a landscape photography and walking perspective. With a description of steep escarpments of the north downs and glorious views over Kent, Boxley was next on my hit list.
