Our guides
The spotted Rooster 
9 miles up and down a mountain in this and POURING rain
Today we went on a 9 mile hike through Kent. The picture with all of the fallen trees is what it was like all the way down the side of the mountain.  Today it rained all day and I thought it was going to be kind of a miserable hike but I ended up loving every minute of it. A couple of times, at different elevations, we would come out on a giant open field. Since it was raining at the same time I felt like I got a huge feel for how England really is.  A little more than half of the original hiking group left, came home and  some of us stayed out for the rest of the hike. The 2nd part of the hike was definitely the most fun and the hardest it rained! It was pouring down but I was completely waterproof, wool quick dry socks, waterproof hiking shoes, waterproof pants and jacket.  (Thanks to mom) I still got wet though because we were all pretty sweaty by the time we finished hiking that mountain ha ha
I wouldn't trade this experience for anything back in the states, I loved loved loved this hike
