Nice road and generally quiet. Lovely views into and across the valley.

Nice test of strength, about a 7 minute climb

I love this view. There is a place where you can sit in the nook of a tree and just enjoy the valley for a while..

Otford is a charming village and civil parish located in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, England. Nestled in the picturesque Darent Valley, Otford is known for its rich history and scenic beauty. The village is situated about 3 miles (5 km) north of Sevenoaks and lies along the River Darent. Otford boasts a variety of historical landmarks, including the remains of a Roman villa and the Archbishop’s Palace, which was once home to 52 archbishops up until the 16th century. The village is also famous for its unique claim to fame: the largest scale model of the solar system in the world. The village center features a quaint pond, surrounded by pubs, cafes, and shops, making it a delightful spot for both locals and visitors. Otford is also home to several churches, including the Anglican Church of St Bartholomew, Otford Methodist Church, Most Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church, and Otford Evangelical Church. Otfords roundabout It is the only roundabout in the UK to have been granted listed status, which means it is recognized for its historical and architectural significance. At the center of the roundabout is a picturesque duck pond, which is thought to date back to Anglo-Saxon times. This pond is a Grade 2 listed structure

I actually made the monument to Paul who was a friend, fellow father (our kids went to school together), customer (Cadence) and fellow cyclist. I had seen a picture of Paul next to a mountain marker in the Alps which is where the idea came from. I no experience of using fibreglass but gave it a go, in my garage, stinking the whole place in the process! Thankfully, the local landowners gave me permission to place it on Beddlestead, a climb Paul regularly rode. It’s great to see it still standing and I remember Paul every time I ride by. For those of you who never met Paul, he was one of life’s gentlemen. He inspired a whole bunch of people in their careers, on the bike and on the rugby pitch. He is sadly missed but always remembered.
