Met my hosts last night Jez and Ally and was promptly handed warm banana bread just out the oven..  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was a 9am start. Had  a look around Folkstone and then continued on my ride West.. unfortunately the wind was coning from the west gusting 30-40mph so the first half of the day along the seafront seemed to take ages.. which it did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I rode past an Aldi just between Folkstone and Rye and there was a chap being arrested for what appeared to be breach of the peace. He was clearly very agitated and not pleased to be arrested despite the officers best efforts. I took it that as this situation was happening in front of me that my role was not to gorp or stare but maybe to pray.

Eventually I made the decision to turn Inland as the coastal wind from the west was I deed making things hard going. I followed the komoot gps app and it suggested there was a road that turned out to be a retired road that got narrower and narrower with slows and blackberry’s in abundance. I eventually made it out the far end of the track and rejoined civilisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stopped for a brew in Rye (lovely small town) and the  was met with the hill of the day just before arriving in Hastings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall a good but wet and windy day.. Hastings to Eastbourne tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks Jim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
