I serviced my scruffy old bike entirely myself for the first time. I fitted a new cassette, new chain, and I replaced the worn rear tyre.
Then, ready, over Easter I set off east. I cycled past Whitstable and stayed at a campsite between Whitstable and Margate for two nights. I spent a day checking out Margate. On the way back I went via Canterbury and got a train home from there.
It's been something I have been meaning to do for some time. It was exhilarating to leave home with everything I needed and hit the road.
