Clacket lane to Wrotham about 25 kms

Simple start with a walk across to the services for breakfast. Must say that the room was surprisingly quiet except for mikes snoring and the couple that had a blazing row in the middle of the night!  Very little road noise!  Breakfast was porridge for £1.50 which was ok and a cup of tea for an extortionate £2.40. Managed to exit the service area safely without needing to climb any fences and headed out for the day. Another pleasant hike over a variety of terrains that was only slightly marred by the 1 hr long down pour. However, it soon stopped and a little later we stopped at Otford for a snack. Ordered a bacon, sausage and two egg  French stick each and realised when it was served that we should have shared one. Still it was yummy and only £4. Moreover, the tea was only 90 p. Whilst at the cafe we found a place to stay using the reliable Booking.com which was the Bull in Wrotham. Thus was about 3.5 hours away which was perfect. Completed the hike at about 1600 just when in started to drizzle. As we had last night's washing tying to dry on the outside of our rucksacks we were glad to get in the dry. Nice pub/ hotel with a pleasant room. Unfortunately, as common the sink is barely big enough to get a finger in let alone wash and the shower is a dribble and no where to dry anything!  Still all settled now and I'm sure we will feel hungry later. At least we can get a beer here as last nights hotel wad dry. Hopefully, as I have wifi tonight I can up load so photo.
