Dave Heyward who specializes in event photography has taken hundreds of photos which you can view and purchase HERE
The new route and feedstop in 2019 seemed to be well received, as was the the sunshine and Kent's fine countryside: along the Greensand ridge, through haunted Pluckley and historic Tenterden. There were extensive views over Romney Marsh before returning through Sissinghurst and Goudhurst with a long downhill at the end. The feed stops were at 55km and 85km. At the same time a tremendous £3,800 was raised for the Air Ambulance
A reminder of the route is below.
