Manston Independent Pedaler is one of my favourite places to go for coffee. The ride is also a Breeze favourite, riding on coastal and country roads. Starting in Hampton, we will ride through the village of Broomfield and through the hamlets of Highstead and Marshside. Picking up part of the Viking Trail and heading towards St Nicholas-at-Wade, we continue through Monkton, ride alongside the Manston Airport air strip and into the village of Manston itself. On leaving Manston, our route takes us through Birchington-on-Sea and onto Minnis Bay where we will pick up the coastal path all the way to Reculver Towers. Our ride then continues on into Herne Bay and back to the start point.

If you want to pick up/drop off the ride at any point on the route, please let Angela know.
