We took the train to Hastings for our annual visit today. We’ve found the best place on the train to keep Rocco out of everyone’s way is at the back of the train. Unfortunately, only the front 4 carriages of our train went on to Hastings, so we still ended up with a stream of people (and a pushchair!) trying to get past him…

Anyway, we were soon at St Leonards Warrior Square station, and after a short walk, on the promenade:

We stopped for a coffee on the pier:

and followed the promenade along to Rock-a-Nore beach:

The miniature railway was running, but we didn’t go on it:

and then it was time to find the pub for lunch. Afterwards, we climbed up to the top of West Hill so that Rocco could run around a bit and let off steam:

Then back to Hastings station and the train home. A lovely day!
