We are the Medway Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A great way to start the year and walk off some excess mince pies and chocolate. We set off through The Great Lines towards the memorial, where we can have a few minutes walking around, then a short walk to Fort Amherst, again we can stop to take in the views across the river Medway. Making our way through Chatham historic dockyard and onto St Mary's island. The lunch stop will be at The Strand, which has plenty of picnic benches and toilet facilities. Bring your own picnic/snacks etc. The final part of this walk, is following some of the Saxon Shore Way, through some parks and back to the start point. Marked moderate due to the distance, but can be done at a leisurely pace. This can also be shortened if the weather is inclement.
Terrain: Mainly flat, firm footpaths. With one stretch of unavoidable road walking.
Park at Sally Port Gardens nearest post code: ME7 5BY What 3 Words: energetic.wishes.best. Meet by the playground, plenty of free street parking available.
