a 200 GdS is a rare and welcome beast
We may be blessed with two GdS 200s in the calendar (and a permanent to boot, as with minor extensions into Swanley and Hayes my 200 doesn't need information controls). My plans are well advanced, with a date in the shadow calendar available to organisers
. Think of it as a hillier reincarnation of William the Conkerer, with added climbs of the North Downs and the Greensand chart.
An early sketch of the route is
on my website but will be tweaked a little. Still trying to decide whether to take the calendar route up Kidds Hill (and then down via Fairwarp and the lanes around Jarvis Brook etc) rather than skirting north of Crowborough. The route will also stop short of Hayes, with an early control closer to Keston (checkpoint if can get a volunteer).
