Wrotham to Detling about 25 kms

Firstly, still no photos as I'm having problems getting them to upload. Secondly, Christa tells me there are lots of typos on the blog. My excuse is that I'm typing on my iPhone and have big fingers!
We charted our own route today as we did not want to follow the north downs strange route that goes up to Rochester and back down the other side. Pretty smile with the bits that show on the strip map of the north downs plus using our old friend google maps. Mostly a pleasant stroll with a little bit of industrial park as we approached Aylesford. Clearly somewhere that was a quaint little village until the motorways were built. Which is true of many if the places we have visited in the last two or so days. In fact Detling where we are staying is just the same. A small village cut in half by the A249 that acts as a link road between the motorways. One section was particularly memorable, besides the scenic detours, was an impressive wood that was almost exclusively Yew trees. Could only find one suitable place to stay tonight which is Windy Bottom B&B (ideal for Mike). Strange how poorly these places are marked. Found this using google maps search as booking.com offered nothing either close or reasonably prices - maybe because it's sat night - but like many places no sign on the way to advertise their place. Still all settled in now with an expectation that we only need to find two more night accom before we go home.
