Overview

A brisk forest walk taking in High Beech, Lippitts Hill, the obligatory golf course (this time West Essex) and the beautiful Linder's Field local nature reserve.

A few stiles and the possibility of nettles, but otherwise not too demanding. However it is autumn, this is Epping Forest, so there will be mud! So boots rather than trainers are the recommended footwear.

Lunch will be at High Beech where there is a pub and some kiosks that serve food but it can be quite busy so a back up picnic is advisable.
