[St Peters on the Wall]

Distance: 19.1 miles
Ascent: unknown
Duration: 6 hours

Mudflat marathon
« Rochford | St Lawrence Bay »

For the first four and a half hours of today's walk I didn't meet a single soul. You wouldn't expect to find such remoteness in England, let alone in the crowded south-east corner only fifty miles from London. But here it is: a fifteen mile path more deserted and lonely than most of the wilderness walking on Britain's moors and mountains.
