• The Way

    I have been here before Otford

    Far have I travelled and much have I seen, dark distant mountains with valleys of green!
    It’s still east to Otford and the end of the track or at least to join the London pilgrim track there - but I’ve done that already!
    A shorter trip today - back up on the way and a leisurely 7 miles to Otford! Paved track but good scenery and it’s pretty straight apart from the enforced detour around Chevening House - closed by previous owners , cannot be blamed on Raab but today why not! Fields of corn and wheat and the sun has come out ! A jump over the motorway and it’s almost all done . Cross the Darenth river , coming in from the north , and it’s Otford - the end ! Now for more conventional transport - a train! COYR !

    Why ?
    Well it’s a great way to see the country and history and geography and usually it’s off the beaten track and ….it’s fresh air, it’s also about time to think , to map read …,and it’s an endurance test and there’s a sense of achievement ! and sore shin!
