Mostly by the sea, at sea-level or possibly slightly more undulating option.  Gravel, grassy and, later, metalled paths. Buy SUPER-OPDR to Leigh-on-Sea or Southend-on-Sea, depending on how far you want to walk. Meet Barking station by 10.00am. The walk options depend on the choice of the LBRs. The main walk is at sea-level along the path to Leigh-on-Sea (4 miles). Lunch: pub, café, Gelato Italia or picnic in Leigh-on Sea. After lunch, some of the group may want to walk on to Chalkwell, Westcliff or Southend (4 miles more) (plus the pier!). Depending on the participants (and possibly the weather!) there could be an option to return to Benfleet from Leigh-on-Sea via Hadleigh Castle and Country Park, over more undulating terrain. EX 175.

PLEASE let Pam know in advance that you will come to help guide the LBRs and which walk length you prefer, bearing in mind that our route(s) on the day will depend on the LBRs’ preferences.
