Is Kathryn Ferry the leading UK expert on beach-huts?; I think so!

The commentary (again) informs you of the beach hut available in Whitstable

This was filmed near St Leonards, Hastings, January 10th 2010.

Apologies for the You Tube video below being filmed 'on the side'; I'm still an amateur at this. By August 2010, when I focus on the availability of all beach huts in Kent and Sussex, I'll be filming and photographing the rows of huts to a higher standard.

Beach huts in the snow at Hastings - 10th January 2010

To find out about renting council-owned beach huts and chalets in Hastings & St Leonards, their website page is here.

My particular interest is in increasing the shared use of beach huts and chalets for those with mental health conditions, or those living with those with mental health conditions. (respite care)

This is how you get use of this beach hut in Whitstable.
Next planned beach huts to be made available are in Hastings, where, following last weekends conversation with Jack-the-Beach who lives in his beach hut there, I'm seeking to learn from the experience of a local convent in making two beach huts available to certain members of the wider community.
After establishing what stops more beach-huts being lent out by owners in Hastings and Whitstable, I intend to cycle all along the South Coast and the North Norfolk Coast with a leaflet that will include the wording:

Whatever you want, ask to borrow it.

Whatever you have to share, offer it.

Gain friends and build trust locally.

I'll be undertaking a recruitment tour of beach huts in August 2010 and am looking for partners in this project -walkers, cyclists, trust funds, charities who see the value of beach huts shared with others for respite care etc (eg Favoured charities Mencap/ Mind)
