Overview

A nice country walk from Billericay to Wickford. This walk is longer than our traditional Tuesday walks, and will include a pub stop, where I intend to have at least an hours break for some food. The walk will include Norsey woods and several other woods and Nature reserves. Also some road walking along the quiet Goatsmoor lane which cannot be avoided.

*** Please note that the Nags Head Pub is currently having a refurbishment of their Kitchen, so only the Bar menu will be available. They may not be to serve food to large numbers.  ***
