That looks nice! I do a similar route for day rides where I follow the pilgrim's way then go north to Rochester before looping back, but straight on to Whitstable looks nice too. Also an option, although I dunno how close to Whitstable I'd be able to find a camping spot where I'd feel safe enough sleeping with my bike next to me! I guess the beach if I can find a reasonably remote spot?

Thats's always been my thinking, but I've just been playing around with google street view there and a few miles in land from whitstable there are a load of the little blue circle (360 picture things) like this and this that appear to be showing the crab and winkle bike path, which I've heard of but never ridden. From those pictures it looks like there would be loads of opportunity to find a subtle bivvy spot. The only problem with this for me is that one of the main attractions is going to the old neppy on friday night, which is one of the great pubs, but probably too far to make it back from there to the crab and winkle way for decent bivvying....
Whitstable's a lovely destination, and this is probably my favourite ride from London, but I've yet to spot a good wild camping option in the vicinity... if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them!
