I lived in Margate during 2001 and Broadstairs 2002, before moving back to Crystal Palace, but I occasionally still do ply that route on my cycle, thanks for reading, feel free to keep in touch, Tom And to think when I lived in thanet for over two years, I used to cycle that Thanet, London route and vice versa almost on a weekly basis, and the worst part was and still is the A2 either way, Medway to Falconwood approx 18 miles, and if you look at a utube name called LetsCycleToday, you’ll see that section of the A2 in it’s glory.

I need to go through that trace and fix some errors in the data.

Just go past the concrete blocks then try to avoid the broken glass and litter scattered along the path. Signs regularly disappear from this stretch of NCR1. I keep meaning (but forgetting) to map the byway where this route rejoins the road. Signing resumes a little further on, but last time I was there the sign had been twisted round the other way. I was too short to be able to twist it back again. As an aside, has the milepost that's fairly near the golf course on the edge of Rainham been "replanted" yet? The last couple of times I was there it was uprooted and leaning at quite an odd angle. That bit of NCR1 on the east side of Sittingbourne is pretty dire.
