After the walk on Tuesday OH and I were inspired to do another and found a farmland stroll between Fambridge and South Woodham Ferrers taking in Cold Norton, Purleigh and Stow Maries WW1 Aerodrome. Got a bit lost at the end - missed a footpath sign - and ended up on the B1012 main road. Jumping into the verge to avoid oncoming traffic I got attacked by a triffid (bank of stinging nettles) and am feeling rather sorry for myself.

VERY hot and humid. Guzzled lots of water.

Distance 10 miles

407.5 to go.

Nice one @IncyWincy and @copepod. Been a bit restricted by an ankle injury this week but going to test it out on a parkrun tomorrow plus a bit more if all goes well. What can I get you you in our 400 mile pub stop!

Ankle not quite ready yet so 3 mile dog walk along the royal military canal.

So that's 402.5 miles to go and I can see the dog and gun in Keswick from here. Place your orders please!

As OH and I got lost at the end of our walk on Friday we decided to do the same stroll today but in reverse to correct our map reading mistake. South Woodham Ferrers to Fambridge via Stow Maries, Purleigh and Cold Norton. Stopped to eat our packed lunch in Purleigh churchyard - absolutely fabulous view of Maldon - and had a look around both Purleigh and St Stephen's Cold Norton churches - cool and peaceful on a hot day.

10 miles.
