A massive lay in until 0845....it was more of an over sleep than lay in. James was a queit sleeper and did not wake me. This place was quiet, safe and had fresh running water!!!:
Started walking at 0900 - soon after, i stoped for an eye inspection:
Around Billericay and towards the Hanningfield reservoir. I picked up the 'St Peter's Way' - i was hoping this might have better signage:
Lunch in West Hanningfield after 3h walking:
These were the first (and last) bails i spotted....so, as is now traditional, i took a series of shots:
Late lunch was taken in Morrison's in Maldon:
A dash through Maldon town center.....avoiding about 1 extra mile of footpaths and i was on my way to a 'PH' marked on the map. I was not sure the 'PH' would be there, but i had a backup plan of a 'PH' 1mile off course.
The 'PH' in Little Totham was there and open!! The Swan - one of the friendliest pubs i have been in in months!! Lots of ales to chose from! I sank some beers and ate crisps...these pesky kids had had the last of the Cornish Pasties:
Under fuelled and over beered, i set off in the dark to find a place to sleep. A mile later, with my night navigation skills still to be perfected, i stopped and slept under a tree at 2100. 8h50 minutes of walking and about 25miles.
