Off message. For various reasons (winter lergies, holidays, work, rotten weather etc) I have not been on any walks for a while. Two weeks ago was the first proper local walk, Gill and I, had been on this year - and it was marvellous. Blue skies, sunshine and pretty countryside. A little cold, some ice and mud but nothing too difficult.
The start of the walk is only just over 20 mins by car from East London (Public transport links not great). You can find the walk and download a map via the Ordinance Survey site https://explore.osmaps.com/ (subscription needed but well worth it).
It is a circular route about 5.19 miles (my Zepp app recorded 6.14 miles but it does overestimate). Mostly flat or gentile up and downs, with fine views. Nothing too strenuous. Very few other walkers. Peaceful apart from occasional planes.
We stopped off at the historic 12th Century Church in Lambourne. There was an a Sunday service going on at the time so we could not look around. Next time. It is telling that this church was built next to the local landowners hall but some distance away from the nearest village in Abridge.
