Beer and pizza at the weekend or long summer evenings at papa bianco

The Pilgrims way is an excellent long distance off road route, however due to it being a bronze age track way over a couple of thousand years some parts of it have become hollow ways and are essentially impassible or very heavy going in wet conditions, at worst it's only traversable by mountain bike in wet periods.

The Dirty habbit at the foot of the climb provides refreshing hill accompaniments

Stayed here for a night on my way from London to Folkestone. Very bike friendly, great food for dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend.

This is NOT a path for the faint hearted! It's rough, very bumpy in parts, slippery when wet. I ride a hybrid - and it's not a path I would take again. It needs a specialist mountain bike.

One of my favourite climbs in the area (alongside Coldblow Land further west). From corner of Pilgrims Way it is 1km to the top. Becomes prgressivley steeper, the final ramp is around 20% gradient.

There is a lovely little market at Whitstable Harbour. It has expanded enormously over the years and now has some really excellent, trendy restaurants as well as arts and crafts stalls where you can find some gems. There are also a number of very cheap stalls selling fresh fish and takeaway food just outside the market itself.

Beautiful views of the countryside.
