Camber Sands

Camber Sands

We decided to be a little more adventurous on Sunday and settled on Camber Sands, somewhere I'd not been for many years.  This would be Kiki's first visit to the seaside and we were a trifle nervous how she would behave after the day before's swimming exploits.  Heidi has long since decided that playing in water is not for her and will even skirt around puddles on walks.

There are several carparks by the beach with a couple of cafes near the holiday park.  Access for dogs is restricted between May and September so a lovely winter's day seemed the idea time to visit.  I was amused the discover that the beach was used for filming both Dunkirk and later The Longest Day.

The girls lost no time in stretching their legs.

Thankfully Kiki showed little interest in going for a swim.  There is little worse then the smell of wet dog in the car on the way home.

The tide was out which gave the girls plenty of room to run around.

A slight detour on the way home allowed us to visit Rye, again somewhere we'd not been for many years.  This is a lovely old town, one of the Cinque Ports, with winding streets and a fascinating variety of shops.  Thankfully, it being a Sunday, most were closed otherwise somebody would have insisted on visiting.

We had a quick drink in The Standard Inn, being unable resist the name, before heading home via Hastings.
