So a random all over the shop route, to go with the random all over the shop weather 😆. Immediately got soaked upon leaving the door - happy days 🦆. A bit of cycle path or road, but it was busy enough that I was probably quicker than being on the road, and feeling a bit self conscious with the path there. It did put me on a subway under a roundabout though, that took some deduction to get out of 😆. East Ham I think, all of a sudden the shops start overflowing into the street, all kinds of fruit and veg, lovely and quite a different vibe to other places. There was the obligatory bit of gravel while I wiggled my way filling in the tile gaps and keeping off the one or two mega busy roads. One I didn’t avoid but took the cycle path, and it was bloody terrible, Colchester Road I think. Cycling infrastructure, still hit and miss even down here. Brentwood from that direction was a bit mean, felt like a never ending hill, right before the cafe stop too! A return to Hopefield it was, and with the traffic tax on my timekeeping I was well in need for some refreshment. The lady recognised me from the other week and was asking about my travels 😄.

The quite a different second half, almost immediately being on quiet country lanes and getting a bit of the breeze assistance. A couple of busier bits later on, but I got my head down and stepped up the effort a bit. I did think upon seeing the Epping sign, that I should look a bit more closely at my routes before riding them - I mean I do, but I made this a few days ago and turning up in Epping was a surprise in my head 😆

Got the tiling square to 12x12 which I’m quite happy with. Scotland’s square is 16x16 but bounded by the Tay, Forth, and Loch Leven.
