Sunday 17th July 2011







A mostly cool,dull day today with some showers too.
Met Dave at Shoreham's Battle of Britain museum but he was heading home.Just Paul & Jeff joining me to The Chaser Inn reached via Otford where a new café was spotted (11am - 16.30pm on Sundays).South to Seal then the gradual climb to Stone Street.Past Ightham Mote to the village of Shipbourne.
Jeff dined inside whilst Paul & myself sheltered under the parasol whilst a heavy shower passed over.
Being Kent,a steep climb was unavoidable today but curiously One Tree Hill near Underriver scores two chevrons on my 1981 "188" but only one on my 1998 edition.Either way it's better than the back breaking Bayley's Hill.
Tea at Tatsfield but no views of the weald today.

70 miles.

Notice the NOTW advert in the Shoreham pic.
