  • Board the first HS1 of the day from STP to Canterbury(can't remember whether it it is Canterbury east or west)
    Climb out of Canterbury and follow 18 miles of easy traffic free lanes to Sandwich.
    Follow the (traffic free) coastal path all the way to Whitstable.
    Loads of opportunities for refreshment (or bail in the event of crap weather/headwind) along the way.
    Come inland and camp at Painters Forstall campsite near Faversham.
    Or there's Woodhill campsite nearby with a slightly higher star rating.
    Somewhere between 60 and 70 miles of riding
    I've done this ride dozens of times on fixed as well as gears (minus the camping bit - I always come home the same day as I went out).
    If you buy a return ticket at STP, the return half will be valid from Faversham.

  • Nice one. Thanks. Looks like you can also do a day trip and head home from quite a few stations on the route.

  • You can. Other than the section between Canterbury and Sandwich, the route pretty much follows the railway line.
