I’d avoid Brasted at the moment. I rode up it just over a week ago and the surface is appalling. It’s hard to describe but it’s really uneven and was bad enough coming up it. Going down it would be scary until it’s sorted (and there are repair-type paint markings on it so assume it’ll be repaired soon).

This is what I would do. All fine until Rye but then I'd cut out Dungeness / Lydd unless you were dead keen to see it - the A259 from before Romney to Hythe is absolute dogshit. Then you could head north as you planned but then at Sandwich I route inland. Ramsgate / Margate / Birchington is either snarled busy roads with terrible driving or coast line full of walkers. So I wind you past a Grade II listed windmill and some nice villages and close to Reculver if you still wanna see it. Then I cut out the coast path from Herne Bay to Whitstable who's expansion gaps are like a *** section of P-R. After Faversham take the classic Pilgrims way back west and Choose Your Own Adventure back into London (I went Brasted and then A21).
