- Bexley, Kent
Starting at midnight from under Waterloo Bridge on the Southbank we escape The Smoke on some quieter roads, and follow the river via Greenwich and the Cutty Sark, before climbing for a view of the estuary then diving under the Dartford Bridge and making our way to Gravesend.
Quiet lanes take us to our half way stop in Strood - wonderful home made cakes and rolls from the staff of Step & Learn - before we cross the Medway and head further east through Upchurch. We bypass Sittingbourne by skirting the marshes over the atmospheric Raspberry Hill where we may spot a barn owl or two, and on to the ancient market town of Faversham. The road from Faversham to Whitstable runs across the Graveney Marshes. A delight. We enjoy our breakfasts overlooking the sea.
There’ll be a castle, a cathedral, tanks, possibly a submarine, and almost certainly sheep.
A ride of 67 or so miles.
