Today seems even windier, so we were lucky. Also, a lot of the time we were shielded by the trees.
10 of us set off from Hyde Park Corner, although we picked up a few more along the way.
And now, by popular demand, here's Louise's breakfast:-
She only managed about half of it!
I was very impressed with the pub, and how quickly they produced the food, so we ended up being quicker out of there, than at Andy's in Rochester.
Chilham really is a very pretty hamlet, although no time for an ice cream.
I didn't however get a photo of what must be an ancient Kent tradition, of hanging your duvet out of an upstairs window.
I've just remembered an amusing incident, heading into Faversham. After going past the new Sainsbury's, I was following behind a huge Jeep vehicle, which was in turn following a few other cyclists. I noticed the driver pointing to the parallel cycle path (the one that goes over people's drives and stops at intersecting roads). So I point down at the road. She then points more firmly towards the cycle path, prompting me to point repeatedly down onto the road. She then started to point to the cycle path again, but had to stop, as the cycle path had ended! So I just merrily pointed down onto the road again with a big grin.
I would have liked more time to sit and reflect at the Battle of Britain memorial, but we had a High Speed train to catch.
Well done to everyone for participating.
The rest of the photos can be seen
