From Ashford we made our way down to Hythe and then along to coast to Folkstone which was pretty straightforward, but finding the Dover coast road out of Folkstone was less easy (all the signs point you back to the major roads) but a local on his bike soon had us pointing in the right direction. Thanks to you my anonymous friend. But what a direction! Mostly, it was pointing straight up, and with temperatures now in the mid-20s, the climb was a struggle for all of us except Stuart. Some walking was done, albeit only a couple hundred metres or so.
Re-grouped at the top, we enjoyed the last few miles along the South coast but the weather changed dramatically with temperatures dropping and the mist descending.
Made it into a misty Dover! Managed to get an earlier ferry too. Hope there's loads of food on board!
