Hampton, Herne Bay to Quex Park

Meeting in the car park at Swalecliffe Avenue, Hampton (just up the road from Hampton Pier), we will ride out to Quex Park via Herne, Chislet, Upstreet, Grove Ferry, Preston, Plucks Gutter and into Quex Park at Birchington where we will have a coffee/cake/breakfast stop (they do THE BEST scrambled eggs on toast). When we leave here, we will then cycle through Birchington down to the beach where we will pick up the coastal cycle path back to Herne Bay taking in Reculver Towers on the way. This can be a challenging route due to some hills, although not particularly steep or long, they do test your lungs and thighs!
