Sitting here at the kitchen table at 10 minutes to midnight with the Ordnance Survey map of Colchester laid out in front of me. I’ve had to change the route of tomorrow’s walk a bit because the Wivenhoe ferry only operates within two hours or so of high tide. I was counting on using it to get across the River Colne at Rowhedge, but since that’s not an option, we’ll just have to take the bus back into town at the end of the route. Oh well …
On the plus side, it looks to be a cracking day tomorrow. Sun is in the forecast and this time we have quite a crowd coming. Meeting up at London Liverpool Street station at 9am by the ticket counter, then catching the 9:30 train to Colchester. Anybody else who wants to join this trial run is welcome to come – just email me at david@englishcountrywalks.com to arrange.
Highlights of tomorrow’s walk should include the Roman remains on the outskirts of Colchester, a pub lunch in Layer de la Haye, and Abberton Reservoir (for birdwatching). Check back soon for more photos!
