Romney Hythe and Dymchurch
As a matter of interest; to me at least, does the RH&D have a cycle policy? Thanks for any info. Mike

Re: Romney Hythe and Dymchurch
I think you'd be hard pressed to squeeze one on there - though riding along the coast is nice and easy!
Re: Romney Hythe and Dymchurch
There's a luggage coach on (IIRC) every train that takes pushchairs, wheelchairs etc. Pretty sure you could fit a bike in there but I'd give the railway a ring before travelling.
Re: Romney Hythe and Dymchurch
If you are tall you might find the carriages are too squat for the bike. IIRC as a six footer you sit on quite a low seat and your head nearly touches the roof.
Don't let that put you off going though. The area is great to ride (although the wind can be a drag) and the steam engines are masterpieces!

The older I get the more I’m inclined to act my shoe size, not my age.

Re: Romney Hythe and Dymchurch
Thanks for all that. It was for an elderly friend who was worried about making it in face of a stiff breeze.

Leaving the train at Hythe for the ride back to Dungeness. This is about half of the group.
