Canterbury

Dave P

We're staying at Kipps Hostel, an independent hostel in Canterbury. It is a short walk to the city centre and the historic attractions including the renowned Canterbury Cathedral. Canterbury also makes an ideal base for day trips to Dover and Leeds Castle, and walks on the downs and coast.

Directions: Take B2068 to Hythe from City Ring Road (A28). Turn right at first traffic lights by church. Kipps is 300 yds on left (40 Nunnery Fields, CT1 3JT). On-street parking.

Deposit £40 to book your place please.

Mike & Cress

The Capital Ring is a 78 mile route around London joining together over 50 green spaces hidden in the suburbs and urban sprawl including Oxleas Meadows, Abney Park cemetery and the Docklands Campus of the University of London. You will see pictures spread over the 3 years and 3 months that Cress and Mike took to complete the walk in 9 stages....Will you be able to see them age or their paunches grow??.
