That was the beginning of an adventure and in a true Thomas the Tank Engine story it heralded the Rye and Camber Tramway as seen from The Lookout on Hilders Cliff, Rye.
Oh what fun it would have been to ride the little train from Rye, with bags crammed with all that was needed for a day on the beach, excited children and even more excited parents.
Sadly the little train is no more but you can still Walk the Line from Rye to Camber Sands.
Just one of the walks in a newly revised
