@moorhen and I obviously our out. Too busy working on our bikes atm. Need a day off. We'll do this ride on another day though .

Thanks for the planning and have fun

We made it to the bike shop. Sitting in the pub eating while they fix the bike and deciding whether to hop over back onto the route or right back the way we came from here

To those that made it.........

After leaving you at Ashford International and getting back past ASDA's i bumped into @jaitch +1 they both made it back and where maybe twenty minutes behind us.

they chopped over straight from New Romney to Ivychurch and cut out the Dungeness to Old Romney section.
So everyone is tucked up on trains heading home :)

Excellent, ride, great company, glad to hear the mechanicals made it back in reasonable time.

Short negotiation with a couple who thought taking out a double seat with their luggage was appropriate. The bag moved.
