It's been over a year since I last updated this topic.
Much as I was enjoying the occasional bit of town walking, especially during the off-season for walking, the pandemic caused me to stay well away from other people and so when I have ventured out, it was never to a town. In fact, I haven't walked down any high street or been near any town centre since last spring.
This morning though, I fancied walking along the coast between Herne Bay and Whitstable because it's been a while since I enjoyed the sea air. I knew I'd join the coast somewhere around the far end of Herne Bay, and it occurred to me just before I set off that I might add a few previously unwalked streets at the Beltinge end of the town.
Rather than plan a route or make notes, I tried to remember the names and approximate locations of the four streets I wanted to 'collect'. That's why my track at Beltinge is a bit convoluted!
To my surprise, I was successful. I remembered two of the four roads by name, and remembered the other two when they turned out to be roughly where I thought they would be.
Having walked all four, I went to the coast and headed back towards Whitstable - 14 miles and home just in time for lunch.
There are only a very few roads in Herne Bay left to add to the map and I'll try to do them in the next few weeks.
Here's my up-to-date map for the Herne Bay area.
(Note: I don't feel the need to do cul-de-sacs, although I sometimes do! The map also shows the footpaths I've walked as well.)
