I was due for a whizz out to Sussex today, but a late change of plan, meant I was billy no mates, but didn't want to waste the dry day opportunity., so I decided to have a venture out into Kent, just to make sure it was still there.
A combination of A and B roads got me to The Airport Cafe, between Ashford and Folkestone, in around 2 hours. After a tea and a snack, it was back on the bike heading for the wicked uphill bends on Dover Road, on route to the Battle of Britain Memorial. After a quick photo stop at the memorial it was onwards to Wingham and Canterbury, before turning for home taking in the Chilham Bends, which were as good as ever.
I got home just as it was getting dark, so for a "make it up as you go" sort of day, it worked out fine, with another 192 of our lovely English miles clicked onto the mileometer.
