Maidstone has 2 bus companies. Arriva and New Venture.
I had planed to go to the Milatery Odderty at Detling Showground. but the Arriver bus company have stopped runig there bus that goes past the showground.
The new Venture bus has a bus that goes past the Showground on it's way to Canturbury..
their first bus leaves a 8.35,
The bus I get To town bus stop is a few Yard from the new venture bus stop and my bus get's there a few minutes before.
the new venture bus going up Detling hill so I ring the bell.
the bus goes past the stop.
The driver where I wanted to get off I said at the show ground.
his said there is no stop there .
I told him I always got off there .
He Drops at Sittingborne the next stop.5 to 6 Miles on his route.
He told me where the bus stop was back.
but the bus bac would be the bus I had just got off .
I looked at the time table no buses going back that way.
I noticed a footpath by the bus stop so I took that.
I decided I may aswell get the Camera out.
The road that lead back to the Show ground is A249
this is a Dual Carrage Way.But now foot paths on itt just grass verges.
The M2 Motorway crosses the A249.but that are making a inter change there.
so I try my best to avoid thisthe best i coul.
just afer this there is a bridge to the othere side of the A249.
the other sede of this i find a footpath thrugh a field of B barley.
This Footpath had new styles on it.
whe I got to the road I did not real know weather to go left or right,
KI chose left
this was a narrow road and at a house that was next to the footpat was A man in his car startinging it up..i
I walk to the next House ang step into their drive a a car was coming out of d gateway oppersite .the car behind me had also came onto the road both cars stop to chat,there was no room for anything to get by the man in the car spoke to me about my photos. and he offer to take me to the showgroud, So I got there about 12.30,
After the show I walked down Detling hill.this is what I always do after thes hows as there is on Buses but there is no way to cross the road there also no bus run that way after 6.
the path was overgrown with stinging nettles . walking down I kicked a lump of Tarmac that had been put there by the people who had repaired the Road.
my toe is ok now but had to use s stick on Sunday.
