I never finished this ......due to this and this. So...after almost a year with my ankle almost better, i set of to complete the last 13 miles of the Essex way.
The starting location was Lawford - and after a cup of tea with family Joslin i set off at 17:22 heading for Manningtree:
The final 13 miles went from Manningtree, along the south shore of the river Stour through Ramey and finishing at Harwic. The sun was slowly dropping out of the sky as i set about entertaining myself taking photos.
I re-enacted the 'bale of straw' series:
Also, the 'climb and tree and look a bit gay:
I checked my eyes were there (last time):
This car caught my eye...i may buy it:
The plan was to stop in the Castle Inn in Ramsey for food and beers - about 9 miles.
The next 5 miles were truly wonderful. The Stour is beautiful, even with the tide out i found myself wanting to photograph everything - none of which really came out with such a small camera(and my lack of skill).
At the pub (2030), I was greated by a small welcoming party and the line 'we don't do food':
Andy 
, (big) Adam 
, Chris and Dave.
So, we piled out of the pub and to the back of the Audi for the left overs from Chris and Dave's day at the beach:
Pool was played and beers sunk:
I set off at 00:00 to a lovely spot to camp for the night.
Injury count - Zero.
Wild animal count - none.
Text messages - Lots...i would be well ahead!!!!!!!!
Notes: Andy only live about 1 mile away.
