The name's Sport, Capital Sport

You have been assigned a mission to uncover the secrets of Kent.  Intelligence tells us some of the best cycling in the UK can be found in this well known but seldom visited area.  Q will supply you with the latest in hybrid bikes and detailed route directions.  Book a place on the Luxury Coast to Capital tour beginning in Dover where you can explore the secret tunnels left over from the cold war.  Watch out for those pesky Ruskies! Nearby is St Margerets Bay the former home of Ian Fleming and location for some of the scenes in Moonraker.  The Red Lion at St Margarets at Cliffe was one of Fleming's regular haunts and is mentioned in Goldfinger as a place Bond liked to frequent.  It is now home to a fabulous collection of Bond memorabillia and the best Martinins in the county.  Don't overdo it or you may feel a little too shaken and stirred. Continue your tour through the pretty seaside town of Sandwich, passed the towering Cathedral at Canterbury, the fascinating dockyard at Chatham then on to London where M will be waiting to be briefed on your mission. Good luck!
