Overview

Park on Royal Esplanade, Ramsgate (free parking) and meet by boating lake. There are a couple of cafes, possibly open, also public toilets near start. We'll pass them as we head down into Ramsgate Harbour area and along the coast to Broadstairs, which will be really busy due to the Blues Festival. We'll play it by ear if we nip into any venues for a drink or listen to music before returning to Ramsgate. We can then decide as a group on possible lunch stop, either before or after returning to the cars, depending on what everyone wants to do. Obviously easy choice is Wetherspoons, as they're used to walk-ins, without prebooking. Not guaranteed but likely to be OK. I am staying overnight Sat & Sun in Ramsgate, so if anyone would like to join me for an explore of Broadstairs (lots free music) and/or Ramsgate, feel free to contact me.
