Into The Countryside

Picked up a hire car and drove to a small village near Canterbury in Kent called Chathem Hatch. Staying in a 12th century manor house. Have to stoop my head about a foot to get through the door of our room.

Nice pub lunch in a small pub called the Chapter Arms (most of the surrounding lands are owned by the church). Publican was into his sports..spoke proper posh but that might be a Kent thing. Tried a couple of Kentish Ales from the oldest brewer in the UK, Shepherd Neame (http://www.shepherd-neame.co.uk/). Keeping an A-Z list of pubs and beers for the trip. Will post details when there's a few more entries.

Did a quick geocache (see www.geocaching.com to find out more about what it is).

Full English next morning. Off to Canterbury today to have a look around.
