I recently did the Chilham/Canterbury walk solo and spotted a few inaccuracies in the green book (2003) as follows:

Page 217, col 1, para 3: The distance is not 500 metres, more like 50 metres.

Page 218, col 1, para 6: These directions seems to repeat in more detail the words in brackets in the previous paragraph.

219/1/3: the post is now not just well hidden but horizontal. There is an unmarked knee high concrete post at the same turning.

Page 219, col 3 para 9: I didn’t see a post with yellow arrow. It might be helpful to note that the ditch which you cross is the stream mentioned in previous para.

220/1/4: The fence is on the right not the left.

The White Hart pub, the suggested tea stop, is open from 5pm daily and all day Saturday but not on Sunday.
	blue	Jul-01	216	lunch	The Plough now advertises Thai food.
	green	Jun-03	216	col 2, para 2	After taking the left fork on the A28 there was no pavement beside the busy road so care is needed.
	green	Jun-03	216	col 2, para 5	The car road at 150 degrees was gravel.
	green	Jun-03	216	col 2, last para	In 560 metres with the farmgate ahead there was no stile to the right.
	green	Jun-03	217	col 1, para 1	There was no zone of mire.
	green	Jun-03	217	col 1, para 6	Instead of a footpath crossing, there were two t-junctions. At the first footpath junction fork left towards the pylon, and at the second fork right, following yellow footpath arrows.
	green	Jun-03	217	col 2, para 5	St Marys church was open from 3pm to 5pm from May to September.
	green	Jun-03	218	col 1, para 5	At the slight bend left in the field, go left and then shortly right to continue following the bottom of the field. On reaching a footpath post, turn left and go up the field between the rows of apple trees. At the top of the field turn right and almost immediately left into the wood.
	green	Jun-03	218	col 1, last para	In 125 metres either go over the stile to the road or go through the open gare a few metres to its left.
	green	Jun-03	218	col 2, para 8	Before taking the stile on the left in 310 metres, you might wish to take a detour by continuing on a few metres to visit "No mans orchard" as signposted earlier on your route. This is an ancient apple orchard with blackberry bushes growing up the apple trees set in a meadow of many butterflies. Then retrace your route back to the stile.
	blue	Jul-02	220	col 1, top	Referring to the little path which runs beside the stream for some considerable distance. A good deal of this pathway is really think with brambles and stinging nettles. A stick to clear a path through these could be useful.
