It gets the same amount of rain as elsewhere in the area, there are no deserts in the UK. Oddly this is a desert:

Dungeness is more of a desert than that!

One on one? You're crazy.
I like Dungeness - considering going to stay there at some point - there is a cool cottage for rent there

Really enjoyed this programme which featured Dungeness. Simple concept, just 2 cameras, and annotations / notes of things Mr Moir found or discussed on the way.

Went for a drive in the general area of Dungeness today, took a few pics using my ancient iPhone SE between Lydd and Camber.
I’m a lover of bleak and desolate landscapes so grey weather on the marshes meant I was like a dog with two dicks.

seeing off the new ball
Dungeness in 2012, went on a very quiet bleak January weekday. Not many folk around. I'm guessing the locals aren't terribly keen on regular coachloads of Guardianistas turning up sobbing into their scented hankies at Propsect Cottage (Jarman's old place) so the publicity around that was low-key...off-season anyway.
It's a good place to go and clear your head, take a day away from others, so ideal for misanthropes and the monosyllabic. Would be nice to return on a hot Kent summer day I suppose but there are so many other areas of coastline there still to have a look at.
I found Dymchurch, where a Martello Tower replaces Prospect Cottage, and empty ice cream parlours that look like they were last open in 1978, much bleaker tbh.

You probably ran through Littlestone, a place I know and love well.
You would have seen the Mulberry if the tide wasn’t too high.

Gone for a Burton
We kids used to sit on the sea wall all summer, and walk it from Littlestone out to Dymchurch and back. Greatstone too, but the sea wall runs out before you get there. We’d go to Greatstone for the dunes and the amusement arcade. Penny drops and Asteroids, and one of those fortune telling gypsy machines. The adults would take us for sit down fish and chips once each summer, they’d all get ripped on g&t and wine and we’d sneak their left overs. Once in a while there’d be a desultory fun fair and the girls would all fall in love with the roustabout boys on the waltzers while the boys stared at them and tried to copy them.
The fish and chip place was Tony’s. A pretty normal seaside restaurant at the front and a posh carpeted bit at the back for dates. The menu was exactly the same in both halves : Taramasalata (Tony was Cypriot), half a grapefruit with a dried cherry on top. Fish and chips, chicken and chips, pie and chips. Apple pie and ice cream, treacle tart and ice cream.

Now i think about it we ran towards the Martello tower but your picture is more or less what the sky was like

Yeah, it can be pretty grim round those parts. I love it though.
I took someone down there for a weekend break once. I kept saying “isn't it wonderful“ and they kept looking sideways at me. Afterwards, they said they’d hated it, it felt like someone had put the lid on and screwed it down tight.
But when it’s bright, when the sun is shining, the skies go on for ever, stretched out over the flat land in a way that can become unsettling. It can make you (or me) feel a bit unbalanced, the land is so much smaller than the sky that it feels as if I’m standing on a disc with edges I could fall over. I like that precarious untethered feeling. Makes my stomach swoop.
That‘s inland though. And now that it’s not all sheep fields from horizon to horizon it‘s probably less noticeable.

I don’t know what’s going on with that photo tbh. Why it’s so grey/blue.
It’s not mine, I got it off the web.
