I mean, it's no Alps epic but nah no issues with your route. Doing it in winter was probably asking a bit much given the hours of daylight and the pretty crappy tile bagging day I created to get us to Ashford. When we came out of the pub to another flat and the fog had moved in again we were just like "fuck it, train from here is the same price as train from Ashford, let's go"

Nice ride! A couple of long days for mid-winter. I assume you were hotelling it, not camping?
Great to get so much coast. I can't remember what the wind was doing but hope you had more from behind than in your face. I don't reckon you lost out by cutting it short. The coastal stuff is great, the lanes inland can be pleasant enough but nothing extra special, and after a couple of long days, it must have been good to get back at a decent time.
Trying to persuade family to go to Whitstable for new year's day sea food lunch in one of the pubs, but weather looks like it will win the argument.
I thought I recognised that Premier shop at first as a control from the Oasts and Coasts, but it was in Deal - I guess they all look the same - then I realised why you photographed it.
I'm planning to do this at some point for a chilled midweek tour, so will be helpful to have a look at the various route versions.
