Report

Route muddy and waterlogged in places, particularly over the first section from Lenham to Ashford. Weather good throughout though. Restocked food and water in Canterbury (about 34 miles in). I’ve covered most of the route a couple of years ago, and there appear to be a few missing waymarkers or signposts now. Navigating through the orchards during the later stages was a bit tricky, with no clear signs or paths in places. Overall, a varied route with sufficient opportunities to buy supplies en route. Only drawback is the 4 mile walk back to Sandwich after the finish of the route to get transport home.
