  1. Took me about 5 hours to complete including the train journey. For my fitness level this was a bit too much, but I struggled on and got there in the end.

    Low points: A414 around Maldon, not particularly exciting.

    High points: Plenty of lovely lanes and country side views, including wildlife to keep you entertained as you fly past!
