Friends of the East Kent Running Day 31st August 2009
This year this event was held at Fowlmead Country Park between Deal and Sandwich and was held in conjunction with the Kent Mining Festival. The country park is built on the former slag heaps of Betteshanger Colliery which closed in the mid 1980's. Free bus services were run to and from Deal, Sandwich, Aylesham, Elvington, Tilmanstone, Hersden and Upstreet with trips up to the former pit head at Betteshanger. About 18 vehicles were present most of which went on to the services at one stage or another.
