Rainham Country Park to Faversham    (see yesterday’s entry)

24.09 miles

Faversham to Sandwich

38.10 miles    =     62.19 miles

Happy with accommodation sorted and a full stomach I set off to Whitstable, Canterbury (where the signs seem to point 2 ways – across to Sandwich or down into Canterbury – I chose the latter and hoped the hill out wouldn’t be as steep as the one in – it wasn’t).  Great little vegan cafe where they not only provided nutritious cycle-benefiting snacks but understood the need to watch my bike in a city.

A fairly flat rural ride through Stodmarsh, Preston, Westmarsh and Richborough til I reached the scenic town of Sandwich where a B&B provided me with a comfortable bed – an ear plugs as the church bells sounded hourly – and the couple next door were a little noisy !
