Rochester Road ME1, UK
near to Burham in Kent in my previous video I came up here
from the River Medway at Aylesford through Eccles village, and almost
to Burham village near Rochester now continuing to Wouldham
my route will pass through Peters Village ahead is Burham village
and Pilgrims Way to Rochester last time I went along that road
the surface was terrible instead turning on to
New Court Road, Rochester ME1 passing Court Road,
Burham ME1 (on right) Burham village is to right,
ahead and left is the Medway Valley River Medway flows over 70 miles
through Sussex and Kent millions of years of erosion
has created a wide valley here River Medway has catchment
area of 930 square miles although volume of water is
much more than rainfall alone numerous natural water springs
flow from the surrounding hills compared to the ancient Pilgrims Way
this road is lovely and smooth short climb has opened view to left
looking over Snodland and Halling towards North Downs hills
at far side of the valley beside river at Snodland
is a huge paper mill Smurfit Westrock Townsend Hook

while resting and eating had a strange conversation with
a man panicking about bees think he was trying to save me
