OVERVIEW

A lovely out and back run along the estuary. All the paths are good and well maintained and the route, despite being to Horrid Hill, is pancake flat and thus perfect for a speedy run.

Convicts housed on the hulks in the Medway anchored close to Chatham attempted to escape to the hump of land that looked like an island. Those that were recaptured were hanged as a warning to others, hence the name "Horrid Hill". Horrid Hill marks the end of Sharps Green, which proved an ideal place for smugglers.

A great run with fantastic views out over the Medway Estuary (best when the tide is out).
