« Tollesbury Marsh | Mersea Strood East »

Today has been my longest road-walk. The first third of the day was on footpaths - round Old Hall Marsh and across a farm to Brooklyn - but the majority of the day has been spent pounding the tarmac. Ordinarily I'd moan - why isn't there a path along the coast here? - but instead it's made me realise how much footpath there is around the coast. The fact that today's ten miles of tarmac stand out shows just how fortunate walkers can be.
