Canterbury, England 19-26 July

This week was spent at the University of Kent in Canterbury visiting the Computing Education Research group (CompEd). I stayed in a B&B opposite the university campus with Margaret Hamilton from RMIT. There is a lot to see in Canterbury and surrounds. With the long days we were able fit in a some sightseeing after work. One day we walked to Whitstable and back via the Crab and Winkle way (24km round trip).

Description of the Crab and Winkle walk - a cycle and walking track from Canterbury to Whitstable on the coast. This is named after a railway line that ran between the two towns until 1952. The walk partly follows the track.
