Sunday Walk: Ham Street to Appledore

We’re doing the main walk. Difficulty 3/10, length 14¼ km (8.8 miles). First up, a circuit of Ham Street Woods (good for wildflowers), then along the inland Saxon Shore Way (the sea moved -  honest). If you get the impression the locals are laughing at you, it's more likely to be the Hungarian marsh frogs that have settled in these parts. 🐸🐸  Feel free to laugh back.
Trains: take the 10:37 Hi-Speed Ramsgate train from St Pancras (Stratford International 10:44) and change at Ashford International for the Eastbourne train (arr 11:14 platform, dep 11:24 platform 1) arriving Ham Street at 11:32.
You could get the cheaper 9:29 Ramsgate train from Charing Cross to Ashford but there's a bit of a wait there (arr 10:46 dep 11:24). 
Return from Appledore at xx:57 changing again at Ashford International.
Get a return to Appledore.
