Walk Report

Sun, Sea and Sand 2022, Thursday 13th January 2022
18 walkers, 14.7 miles - leader Ron Williamson
A glorious calm day with cloudless blue skies, perfect for a stroll along the Thames as it nears the end of its journey to the open sea. The story of today's walk is best illustrated by the attached pictures mostly taken by Gavin.
Just to add thanks to Peter Aylmer for assisting with the leading for the last four miles, this enabled us to offer a variety of pace and finish locations; as it happens the majority opted for his faster pace so 10 walkers reached the planned destination of Shoeburyness as darkness fell at the end of another memorable day.
