Two unsuccessful attempts to do Chalkpit, Ide, Toys, Yorks and Brasted hills back to back this weekend. Saturday's failed attempt happened after my mate's knee blew up after Chalkpit, massively swollen IT band and had to drag him home up Westerham.
Attempted again today, failed after realising 30mins in how fucking windy it really is. Thought best not to bother so turned for home near Westerham again, only to double puncture at the same time, front and back. Luckily, right next to a nice cafe so sat and ate brioche and chatted to a couple from Dulwich who were doing a similar day of hill climbing. I nodded and kept quiet when they said they were planning on 200km with 3000m of hills...
Might try again on Friday. Or not.
