KENT - GENERAL A:  Aylesford, Cobtree Country Park - “Off Sandling Road…”  “It’s a few years since I have visited this one on my way to the Kent coast but I understand that it is still in operation.”  “Plenty of daytime activity near Maidstone both in cars and in woodland, courting couples, gay sex etc.”  Also: “Just outside Aylesford, off the M20 near the museum, is a good location.” 

B:  Clacketts Lane, Kent - “I am taking a submissive female to Clacketts Lane Services on the M25 (at Biggin Hill) one evening next week.   She will be dressed very provocatively and will sit with me until I see some likely men or women to enjoy her.   She knows that she is to swallow.   If you are interested or live nearby and able to accommodate I will bring her to you.   Males and females are welcome to have her.   This is very genuine and she is amateur.   She is married and her husband has no idea that she is a slut.” (Iain, who does NOT live in a world of sordid fantasy, oh no, offered this restrained contribution in March 2000). C:  Cobham - “There are some public toilets in Cobham, Kent which were in our local paper.  They are being used for gays and couples to meet but due to it being next to a school, Police are monitoring the area from 8:00am until 2:00am so it *must* be good!” 

D:  Cobham - “Picnic area, off A2 (M) ten miles south of Dartford, three miles north of the Medway bridge, off the left hand side of the London-bound carriageway, but accessible from both directions.  Popular with straights and gays, with occasional shows from exhibitionists.  No warden but regular Police visits to discourage gay pick-ups at night.  Regular, non-aggressive Doggers.”  “Cobham is quiet, though parking is more tricky since control work started, it’s easiest to park by rail works fence and walk in a little way.”  “Try Cobham Wood, very good there.” E:  Cobtree Country Park - Bobajob wrote: “Plenty of dog walkers and loads of gays and frequent visits by Old Bill.”  “A few places around Tonbridge try also either Cobtree, near Maidstone, or Cobham Wood car park off the A2 near Rochester.  Both are discreet, not overly populated, Dogging sites that I myself have used during the course of the summer.” 

E:  Crayford - “There is a place at Crayford which I have been told about but not yet visited.  Go up the A2 London bound and turn off at Crayford.  Head towards Crayford and pick up signs for waste site.  There is a car park there which is supposed to be OK for shows on a night.  I haven’t been there though.” F:  Dartford Common - “Open heath just off the A2 with gorse bushes and bracken for cover. Unlimited car access.  Mainly straights but some reports of exhibitionists.  One couple in a red Mitsubishi Gallant known to invite extra men for threesomes.”  And: “For good adult fun try Dartford Heath off the A2 London-bound, follow signs for refuse depot, park in car park or lay-bys and enter the woods, lots of gay/bi guys, but also couples.  Last Wednesday lunch time I saw a couple sitting in their car who appeared to be snogging, I walked past car, woman was naked from waist down except for stockings and suspenders, and the guy was rubbing her off.  When I walked away from car they stopped, but as soon as I returned he was up her again. All in broad daylight at the side of the road the truckers loved it they could see right in!”  “Have taken my wife last summer, by ‘accident’ showed me fingering my wife to a passer by, she was pissed off, but only a little bit!”  And, sometimes it’s so near, but so far: “Someone tell me what happens here.  Have been a few times, went tonight, Sunday loads of cars there etc, mostly single guys and a few couples.  Pulled up near the couples, they had the interior light on, but no action.  Cars came and went, the couples were obviously there to play, but is there some sort of code with these things?  Do the guys just disappear into the woods for a group wank or what?” “Try Dartford Heath, always a great audience and near M25.  Close to many Doggers, action 7:00pm to midnight.” 

G:  Dartford River Crossing - “Try Dartford River Crossing area or down at the A2 Peppers Hill for starters - then go elsewhere for the show!”  “The travellers are back, so much for court orders.  So much for the local Council - they didn’t even try to narrow down the entrance and make it impossible for caravans to get in.  What do we pay these B******s for?”   Hugh Jampton wrote (January 2001):  “Dartford Crossing out of action - yet again - (passed by earlier today and the travellers have retaken the battleground, at least three caravans, but - so far - no burned out Minis or piles of steaming trash, so they can’t have been there too long As the site is out of action, anyone got any suggestions for alternatives?  The heath itself (by the recycle centre) is always dead and even Eureka was stone cold and action-free last time I visited.”  “. Yeah, three cheers for Dartford B****** Council!  You’d have thought that by now they would have made the entrance caravan proof - all it needs is some RSJ embedded in concrete instead of that five-bar gate.  What’s it there for anyway?  Only times I’ve seen it open is when the travellers are there.  Poor bl***y ratepayers pick up the bill for Council incompetence again.”  “Dartford Crossing viewpoint has 2b it!”  “The Dartford site referred to by a previous responder is OK, but can get busy and is frequently used by gays.”  “Dartford Bridge viewpoint is also pretty quiet, not as many gays as some would have you believe and rare old bill activity.  Hope this helps a bit.”  Jon wrote: “Dartford Viewpoint is on Cotton Lane. Proceed on the M25 towards the Dartford Tunnel.  After J1 the M25 ends and becomes the A282, proceed along it to the tunnel. The last ‘T’ j  (1a) is the turnoff.  At roundabout you see Crayford/Erith if you go left, tunnel straight on and bridge over tolls to right.  Go right. At next roundabout Bluewater / Greenhithe is to left, Cotton Lane straight on and M25 for Dover, Kent and Surrey to right.  On the corner is a Stakis hotel!  As you go up Cotton Lane the viewpoint is on the left passed a turning called Elizabeth Street.  It is a great place to be on a clear day looking over the estuary watching boats, the bridge, fireworks etc.  Cautions: at the entrance is a high hump in the road that can detach exhaust pipes (you’ll hear it scrape at the very least) as well as low height restrictions.  This is to prevent travellers who visit and put this area out of use regularly, about every three months.  Last out of action during July so another visit is likely soon.  Also, apart from gays and bis, it is too small for any marked differentiation of interests, the viewpoint is visited by Police fairly often for two reasons: (1) proximity to the M25 makes it a great place for patrols to rest from their arduous duties keeping our country free from crime (2) drugs and illicit tobacco are exchanged/distributed here.  Imports coming up from the ferries/Eurotunnel/Gatwick are unloaded, dealt etc since again it has great transport links.  For this reason the VAT/Customs people also frequent it.  Don’t let me put you off since normal non-Dogging families also go there to walk dogs, fly kites or just to see the view, just be aware and pick the right time of day and have a good story!”  “Don’t know when you last looked up passing the ‘Stakis’ - it’s been the ‘Hilton’ for a year or so now (Hilton, now there’s a joke in that location!).  Other than that I mainly agree with you though I’ve not seen our fiends in blue so often - occasionally harassing the kids who come there to smoke pot or checking out the odd dead car.  Usually the ones taking a break sit in the next (almost) entrance up.  The Doggers here are a friendly group, and the gays prefer to keep to themselves in my experience.” H:  Dover, Langdon Cliffs - “Now under control of English Heritage who charge an admission fee.  Limited entry after 10:00pm.   Best in summer, particularly weekends.  Popular with young straight couples but nine or ten regular exhibitionist couples giving shows or allowing participation, mainly threesomes with extra man invited in.  Writer can confirm this!  Some in-car evening shows in winter months.  Difficult warden who knows what goes on.  Occasional uniformed Police patrols. Organised Doggers, often working as a team.”  Directions: “At top of Castle Hill in Dover, on the A258 road going towards Deal, turn right and follow the narrow, twisting road until you reach a very sharp left-hand hairpin bend.  Take the road to the right that leads off this, go past the pay-booth and take the first slip road to the left.  Park up.  The area within a two hundred-yard semi-circle (facing uphill) is productive, but almost everywhere here is good.  On a nice day, walk out past the headland to your left (facing the sea).”  And: “At top of Castle Hill, Dover, on the road to Deal, turn right and follow signs for Bleriot Memorial.  Park off-road.  No vehicle access so mainly daytime in summer. Popular with young straight couples.  Occasional shows by regular exhibitionist couple.  Occasional participation.  No warden or Police activity.  Some Doggers in summer.” 

I:  Dover, St Margaret’s Bay - “St Margaret’s can be a very popular night-time spot.  It’s romantic as all heck, and not too hard to get into and out of at night.  The road is a bit twisty, but it’s easily navigable because you can see cars coming and going. Not that anybody pays much attention.”  “St Margaret’s is off the Dover-Deal road, on the coast.  Come through St Margaret’s village and turn right at top of hill into Lighthouse Road.  Follow the road until houses end and park up.  The whole of this beautiful valley (National Trust) is popular every day in summer with car park activity at night.  Occasional shows by exhibitionists but mainly straight couples.  One couple known to invite participation (maroon Cavalier).  Popular with ‘two-car jobs’ (i.e. marrieds having affair) because of the isolation.  No warden or regular Police patrols. Occasional Doggers.” J:  Dover, Western Heights - “Follow tourist signs for The Grand Shaft.  Car park at top of Military Hill, near Borstal.  Car park popular with straights at night.  Picnic areas popular in summer.  No known exhibitionists but good cover encourages indiscreet activity from straights.”  Grand Shaft, eh? 

K:  East Kent - Tim wrote (September 2001): “Welcome to East Kent!  I live just fifteen minutes drive to the south of Ashford, and yes, it is a bite dire down here, but from Ashford you are not too far from Dartford (never tried it myself though).  Try also Langdon Cliffs in Dover where I have had a bit of fun in the past or Silverleighs Health Spa near Brands Hatch.  The beach at Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppey can be good (getting away from the sort of weather required for there though!).” K:  Eureka Club, Fawkham - “A members-only naturist club but open to all.  Day visit £12:00, year membership £120:00. They are behind Brands Hatch in Kent.  They’re in the phone book, call them for directions.  Best not to ask them about the sex side of it!  Much unofficial fun in car park/woods (gay, hetro, bi, watersports, voyeurism, gangbang).  Cannot get in without paying (barrier) but members come and go at will. Also parties (!) Saturday and Wednesday.”  “Eureka is nudist.  Full nudity (and erections) more acceptable than remaining clothed.” And: “Try Eureka in Brands Hatch - see their web site - it’s a good place for daytime meetings for both couples and singles.”  Fawkham? You betcha!   Paul wrote:  “It is a naturist / nudist place first and foremost but on the party nights it’s a hybrid of nudists who are out to party and dance and have a laugh but no swinging and those who swing or put on shows.  As to who is who?  I find it hard to tell so you just have to keep your eyes open. I would suggest, you head for the sauna and chat to people in there and watch for those couples who readily agree to the woman dancing with other men BUT be considerate, be laid back or you will have trouble.  It is NOT a sex club, but a place where consenting adults may, if they feel like it, go along with things.  It is not a sure-fire thing.  If you can, I would suggest the Saturday night parties rather than Wednesdays.” 

L:  Isle of Sheppey - “Swingers meet at Shellness nudist beach, near Leysdown.” M:  Maidstone - “Exit from J6 M20, head southwards towards Maidstone. At the next roundabout turn right towards Aylesford (the road before the M20 London slip).  Proceed along this road for about half a mile.  Pass over the M20.  On the left is a builder’s merchant.  Immediately on the right is a car park and toilets.  The outer car park is ‘O’ shaped with a track running up the middle.  We have seen couples putting on shows here in the early hours of the morning.  Mainly a gay pickup place.  Height restriction but never locked.  Never seen this area patrolled by the Police.  Any action appears to be up the hillside in the woods.” 

N:  Maidstone, Larkfield Leisure Centre - “Unisex changing cubicles, some with peepholes.” O:  Maidstone, Penenden Heath - “Car park, Friday & Saturday nights (11:00pm-2:00am).” 

P:  Maidstone/Sittingbourne - “The only place that I know about for certain is in Kent. There is a lay-by on the A249 between Maidstone and Sittingbourne.  It is set back off of the road and is just before the Little Chef (or Happy Eater).  Although it is predominantly a gay meeting place, I have had a couple of very interesting encounters with couples there.” Q:  Rochester - “I have never visited it myself so this is just suspicion but have had two sources confirm it. Off the A2, junction of Rochester over the Medway Bridge towards Dover there is a car park area which I have tried twice to find but need better directions, meant to be good spot.” 

R:  Rochester, Boar Lane - “Turn left just after Market site and park car before going under railway bridge.  You’ll see the signal controller station above and to the left.  Walk to the very end of this unmade road and look out for local prossies doing their business in cars!  Plenty of good bushes etc to conceal yourself!”  However: “The Boar Lane, Rochester info is untrue.  There is, to my knowledge, no prossies working in Rochester.  If there are, then let me know.  I live in Higham and have done so for thirty-five years.” S:  Rochester - “Gravesend Road near Strood on the A226, lay-by just before the new bypass.  Action most nights after 11:00pm or just watching.” 

T:  Rochester, Higham - “Concealed lay-by on A226 at Higham, Near Rochester - good for evening viewing of courting couples.”  But: “The site near Higham in Kent is popular with boy racers up to 11:00pm.  Never seen much there.” U:  Rochester, Upnor - “Surprisingly good action on summer days on the beach, courting couples etc.” 

V:  Sevenoaks, Andrews Woods - “From M25 J4 take the old A21 towards Sevenoaks.  At the small roundabout turn left into Shacklands Lane.  The entrance is on the right on a corner.  Infrequent in-car action.  For some reason Saturday mornings seem quite good.  One very exhibitionist couple who go there early evenings.  Lots of dog walkers and families so take care, but on the whole worth the effort.” W:  Silverleigh - “My wife and I have regularly travelled from Scotland to visit Silverleigh, it offers (even under the new management) an excellent place for swingers to get together in a discreet way (i.e. away from families).  Watch out for fun in the disco and the pool, and in the surrounding woodland.  An excellent location, though not strictly a Dogging site (I wonder if they ever tried to organise night-time excursions in a mini-bus, would that qualify as Dogging!).” 

X:  Tonbridge - “Off the A21 going south from Tonbridge towards Pembury.  Just before the Fairthorne Shell petrol station, turn left down road signpost to Capel.  About half a mile on the left hand side there is a secluded car park which is provided for RSPB bird reserve.  Very few bird visitors.  Used by courting couples and gays during daytime and evening.  Great site.” Y:  Tonbridge, Hayesden - “The best place is in South Tonbridge, open all night, and away from main roads and Police patrols.  From the bottom of Quarry Hill, go west at first roundabout and proceed along Brook Street past the college.  Take a right turn towards the Haysden Country Park.  Go past the entrance and immediately after passing under the A21 Fly-over Bridge, turn right into a small, discreet car park.  Couples use this after dark.  During the day it is dog walking place so not very private.”
