I like Ramsgate for about 6 hour for the tide to change to getting going.. east for west

beg pardon for being so neg :)
 
I spent a couple of days in Ramsgate last week, and loved it.

Pete's fish and chip cafe near the beach was superb (and cheap).

Friday and Saturday evenings gave plenty of choice for decent pubs, many with live music (we couldn't resist showing off our jiving skills to the locals).

Watching the sunset, and the lights appearing on Cap Gris Nez, whilst enjoying a good pint on the RTYC's balcony, was another highlight.

I loved the pictures on the screening by the beach.

I had a lovely quick run along the beach to Broadstairs, then back along the clifftop...great views down to South Foreland.

It was a trip down memory lane for me, as I spent many unplanned childhood holidays in Ramsgate (1960s), when my parents' boat got weather bound enroute for exotic destinations like Boulogne or Nieuport (from their equally exotic homeport of Hullbridge). No pontoons back then, you moored along the walls, and had to climb wet, barnacled ladders that seemed to reach vertically up to the sky (when viewed from deck level at low water springs). Waves used to smash over the top of the harbour walls (no outer breakwaters in those days).

Yeah...I think Ramsgate's OK!

(Hated Dover, though).

, especially the Leffe brown

How can you drink that stuff!! Im a bit of a beer drinker, but it certainly doesnt suit me or indeed any of my beer drinking mates, I suppose its because i like drinking pints not sipping a slightly perfumed very strong brew. If you drank pints of that stuff you would be on the way to the Betty Ford Clinic in no time. It seems very popular on this forum tho'. Which reminds me of a time when I was catering for a party, and i asked what beer people would like, a number said, amongst others - Get some Newcastle Brown in, we love it! so I bought a couple of cases, the so called Newcastle Brown lovers drank one each and moved onto something more palatable. I was left with a case and a half for ages after.
