[QUOTE 4812962, member: 21629"]Forecasts saying it will be +24'C in Ashford and +22'C in Eastbourne means it would be a sin to stay at home. Due to sunny day and light breeze I decided to go a bit further than usual.
Ashford to Eastbourne. 70 miles or so. Start at Ashford International train station on Eurostar side. 10 am.
Would like to pay a quick visit to Bodiam Castle, Battle Abbey and Herstmonceux Castle to take couple of photos.
Route will include some hills (I've done it on 02/02/2014 at +3'C only).
For those who will decide to join me:
It's not a race, pace will be quite slow and I will proudly push my bike to any hill I will find too steep to cycle.
Trains from Eastbourne to Ashford runs every hour.
There are train stations along the route for those who will decide that it's enough.
Half-way stop could be in Bodiam, Google says there's one of Shepherd's Neame inns - Castle Inn.
I can do this on Sunday instead of Saturday if somebody will think it's better time.
If anybody would like to join me - please let me know via PM.[/QUOTE]
That's actually about 48 miles (including Bodiam, Battle & Herstmonceux). Unless you have some mega detours planned?
