Self supported North Downs Way. Northern Route, via Canterbury.

Started in Farnham at 10.10am on 20th December. Stayed in Reigate, Rochester and Canterbury. I posted supplies to myself (thanks Lucy Gossage for that inspiration - genius), posting back parcels using postboxes I passed. I bought a cup of tea and a slice of banana bread at a church cake sale on day 1, other that that I was self sufficient. Water was topped up at accommodation and extra water was sourced from outside pub taps.

A beautiful route and generally I was lucky with the weather (one evening of rain). There was plenty of mud and long days.

Finished in Dover at 12.55pm on 23rd December.
