I just looked at the route in Sam's map. I can't comment for the second half as I've not riiden to Canterbury but it includes Bower Lane which is a long, long slog although not steep. Similarly the stretch between Footscray and Swanley is a bit of an uphill drag.
You could include some of this route (to Whitstable but in the same general direction for the first part) but it does include Well Hill which is short but bloody steep. I would definately avoid Hollingbourne Hill later in this route and investigate the gradients involved in Sam's route.
