Folkestone beach and habour wall — Ginger captured this excellent view of the beach and harbour wall. The next morning I had a great run here, from the hotel, through the back streets and passages down to the harbour, out along the wall. Then back along the beach and sea front ending with the 200 ft climb back to the hotel.
