Tunbridge Wells; Friday, 25 October, 2019

I arrived in Tunbridge Wells in the middle of a sustained downpour which had already been going on for some time and didn’t show any inclination of ending any time soon, so rather than walking the half mile or so down to the hotel I hopped in a cab.

I checked in and headed up to my room to finish off my working day.

As it had taken a bit of time to get across to Tunbridge Wells I had to work a bit later into the evening, during which the rain only appeared to keep getting heavier.

By 7pm I decided that rather than braving the foul weather I’d just eat in the hotel, which in the end turned out to be a good call as the food was really good.

By the time I’d finished dinner the weather appeared to have improved so I grabbed my camera and went for a wander around the Pantiles area of the town where the hotel was located. I made it the 300 yards or so down to the Chalybeate Spring – the source of the waters that puts the Wells into Tunbridge Wells – before the weather decided it preferred being wet so after taking a few quick photos I headed back to the hotel for the rest of the evening and an early night.
