Equally nothing going on here either as no buses run here on a Sunday, so we wait for the 2012 Great Western Railway service 2E41 to Crediton, arriving there at 2025 on Sunday evening.

Thankfully we've finally found a station where we can leave the Tarka line behind, so we walk the short distance to the main road to board the 21:08 Stagecoach South West service 5 to Cowley, opposite Chapel, arriving at 21:20 Sunday evening.

Ooh I was spoilt for choice then, didn't know whether to go for the DLR, the 97/108 bus or Javelin!

Let's go for the Javelin, as we board the 1519 Southeastern service 1J42 to Dover Priory, arriving there at 1628 on Monday afternoon.

We now have the opportunity to make the move I tried to make from Dover but was beaten to it, so we board the 19:58 Stagecoach in East Kent service 102 'The Wave' to Dungeness, adj Power Station, arriving at 21:06 Monday evening.

The landscape here has to be one of the most bizarre and otherworldy in the country!

It does look delightful around here. My best friend is from Chatham which admittedly is a Medway town but she says south east Kent is a joy!

That does appear to be it for the day, so in the morning we return for the 0709 Stagecoach South East The Wave service 105 to Hythe (Red Lion Square), arriving there at 0800 on Tuesday morning.

Annoyingly, there is nothing west except for the 11 which runs three times a day, and we can only head north on the 102 which only runs two-hourly, so we'll have to wait for the 1142 Stagecoach South East The Wave service 102 to Folkestone (The Cube), arriving there at 1300 on Tuesday afternoon.
