I too find Camber Sands a nice place to visit. I went there often in the 1960's when in my twenties.
However I last went there about 4 years ago. I had lent my car to a friend, I did not know he'd gone to Camber Sands until I got a call to say the car was bust!.
I got a friend to drive me from London to Camber, found the car near the caravan he and his wife were staying in. Unfortunately it was not economic to repair the car so I got a local scrap yard to collect it.
I had Fish and Chips in Rye then I got driven back to London. My friends who blew the car up had to use the train!
So that was my unexpected seaside day at Camber Sands.
Having read your excellent report I'll try to get there again this year, I'd like to see that electricity wind generation site.

Glad you found some solution to your technical problems and happy to read another of your "proper" posts. Keep writing.

Camber Sands out of season. Beautiful desolation.

Cheers for bringing back some great memories of when I was younger and playing silly games at Pontins whilst drunk, such as syncronised falling off chairs backwards, carrying a sleeping mate out of the room and leaving him on the grass in front of the room whilst he was still in his bed.
But seriously, it's just brough back some daft yet fun memories of times gone by.

We had a couple of family holidays there 25 years ago. I remember charging over the sand dunes to get to the beach beyond.

Shinglier: what a superb word, the sound of it conjures up so much of the British seaside.

Great post. It reminds me of going to the All Tomorrows Parties gig at the Pontins over the dunes. The beach was lovely, but the accommodation was a bit like a prison camp, complete with really sinister looking gulls perched on every roof. Music was good though...

Great places. Rye is one of my favourite UK towns and I spent a couple of childhood holidays at Camber Sands. That beach went on forever as a 5 year old.

Great- you’re back – photo-copied the pages into my ‘Places to Visit’ folder. Roll-on retirement. Thank you for the excellent report.

You missed a link...

Interesting that you should visit not long after I did. What a difference a couple months make, though. Glad that buoy pic proved useful.
