Overview

Walk along the Essex Way to Fuller Street, then return via Mann and Sandylay Woods (EWT).

UPDATE Thu 28/3:

  •  Having recced this route on Thursday with our C&B dog leader (and washed the mud off his paws) the leader recommends this walk is no longer "🐕‍🦺 friendly"
  • For humans, POLES and waterproof footwear are advisable- there are stiles, mud and a small steam to cross (image 2) but It’s only a short section; we can make a chain and help people over
  • On the plus side, the wood anemones are out (image 3)
