Did this again, deliberately this time, slight variation to avoid the wettest parts.
5 miles (8.04km). 2 hours 20 minutes. 2.14mph ( 3.44kph). 81.37% of the pace Google maps suggests is average.

Screenshot of an aerial photography map of Ingrebourne Hill, London Borough of Havering, with it's longest official walking route — the Conifer Trail — marked in blue, going up the hill to the viewpoint then circling the western half of the park to return to the start point.
Twice over and around Ingrebourne Hill.
The bit measured 3.34 miles (5.37 km), 1 hour 40, 2.00 mph (3.22 kmh), 75% of Google's prediction.
I thought I might have got faster as I walked off the ache of yesterday's effort, but no, each circuit took exactly 50 mins.

A colour photograph in portrait format. It shows a side view of a grand aqueduct that carries a canal over a river. Built in Georgian style with beautiful stone and decorated with balustrades and fine stonework. In the background are views of distant hills.
Lune Valley Aqueduct, September 2025
A view of this great canal #aqueduct crossing the River Lune near #Lancaster. Constructed in 1797. Lovely walks nearby, too.
