In some places the path is paved, but it is mostly gravel and occasionally muddy. We&#8217;ll go through woodland and fields, as well as the suburbs of Whitstable before reaching the sea. We will catch the bus back to Canterbury. There are no shops or cafes between campus and Whitstable, so please bring any food and drink you think you might need. Check the weather forecast, be sceptical, and make sure you&#8217;re appropriately dressed too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suggested reading<\/strong>: <span class=\"NLM_article-title hlFld-title\">John Wylie, A Single Day&#8217;s Walking: Narrating Self and Landscape on the South West Coast Path, <em>Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers<\/em> 30 (2005) pp.234-247 (available online via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/library\/\">Library Search<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excursion: For our first excursion we will walk the Crab and Winkle Way from campus to Whitstable.
