A green can of Zubr beer held aloft in front of a TV
Yes! #isotonic
About 19 miles covered in 9 hours. Lots of stopping to post photos of course!
Definitely feeling the traffic fumes after that.
#LonelyWalk
A subway portal with sun at the end with brown, white and cream tiles.
Finally, the last free hug spot at the Petersfield Avenue subway.
Very much willing one step after the other now.
Right, time to get some isotonic drinks from the shop and then home for a shower and feet up!
I hope you hated it as much as me!
#LonelyWalk
A path with fences left and a hedgerow right.
Brief respite from the traffic noise just a few meters to the right.
#LonelyWalk
A multistage green man crossing over a side street left with a BMW showroom beyond.
Tangent Link and at least there are green men crossings over the side road. Racing my battery now!
#LonelyWalk
A steel flyover rises above several traffic lanes entering a roundabout.
And back through Gallows Corner for the third and last time as I head northwest on the northwest side of the A12 Colchester Road, probably to the subway I passed this morning.
#LonelyWalk
A set of green metal gates between brick pillars with a stone lion motif. The gates are locked with a "Power League" AstroTurf complex beyond.
King George's Playing Fields. Faded from their 1936 glory and half privatised.
#LonelyWalk
Crossing one side of a dual carriageway to a fenced area in the centre with a staggered second crossing.
Uncontrolled side road with buff tactiles and an island half way.
North Street / Havering Road (I'm crossing the latter).
A staggered walk with traffic green man crossing of the A12, dash across the side roads.
#LonelyWalk
A floating bus stop with a shelter. It is between a dual carriageway and a service road.
A floating bus stop near Ashmour Gardens.
It's the good kind because people have to cross a road and not a cycle track.
#LonelyWalk
A gently humped footbridge over a dual carriageway viewed from afar over a junction.
A huge cross roads viewed from above with multiple traffic lanes on the approaches and traffic signals.
I'll now cross to the north side for a little bit on the Pettits Lane footbridge.
You can cross at ground level, but despite there being a schools both sides, there are no green men.
#LonelyWalk
A narrow path with verges both sides and a dual carriageway to the right
I'm in the southern side of the Eastern Avenue because there's no path on the other side for quite a while. What we do have is barely 1.5m wide, overgrown and uneven. This needs widening as it's a useful cycle route to avoid chunks of the horrible A118 where you mix with traffic.
#LonelyWalk
A worksite with a temporary path left and the road being worked on
Southern side of the Eastern Avenue and the Gallows Corner works is widening the road westbound to add (I think) a longer merge. We had be better getting a toucan on this side to cross this exit from the roundabout!
#LonelyWalk
Large cartoon cut outs of Roman soldiers on horseback stacked in a group, each with slightly different poses.
As I walk around the Gallows Corner roundabout, here's a random bit of art on the retail park. The Colchester Road is well trodden.
#LonelyWalk
Looks like Ranty is on his #NationalWalkingMonth long walk, dropping in photos & commentary as he goes. You can search #LonelyWalk to see the messages together.
Right. A golden arches breakfast breathed in. Onto Gallows Corner and the A12 Eastern Avenue next.
#LonelyWalk
A road with a narrow verge to it's right them a wide cycle track, another little verge with trees and then a footway.
A similar space but cars parked on the old cycle track and verges.
Approaching Ardleigh Green again and a glimpse at what could have been a high quality piece of separate walking/ wheeling and cycling space.
But no.
#LonelyWalk
A slip road coming towards me with a petrol station to the right.
This petrol station access actually keeps the wide path behind the slip roads.
#LonelyWalk
A gravel path off into fields partially blocked by steel hoops you have to step round/ over.
Welcome to Pages Wood. Unless you use a non standard cycle or can't dismount.
#LonelyWalk
The wide path with a road right separated by a steel crash barrier.
There's a steep drop to the right, hence the crash barrier, but nice to see it kerbside.
It's not a bad path of only swept, the weeds removed and cracks maintained.
