Anyone up for an adventure?
I have cycled the Thames to Dartford and Gravesend quite a few times and to be honest the bit from Dartford to Gravesend is so bad have not managed to go further than Gravesend but the further Hoo Peninsular and Isle of Grain looks really interesting even if most of it is on a footpath.
So that is the adventure, take the train to Gravesend then cycle round the peninsular visiting New Tavern Fort, Shornemead Fort, Cliffe Fort, Lower Hope Battery, Bough Fort, Grain Fort and if we get there on time around for the tide 4:00 Grain Tower.
Meet at Lewisham station for the 8:57 to Gravesend arriving at 9:36
