Manningtree to Wrabness

Thursday 27 Dec 2007 - 6 Miles

A super short walk today as was on way to see family, but train problems meant a really late start.  By time reached Wrabness was getting dark so had to call it quits.  My first walking in Essex, and very attractive countryside, by the river Stour

EDME works at Mistley and Wrabness Church interesting.

By the Stour at Manningtree

Waymarker - Strangely, there are these Poppy style ones, and also dark green ones...

Looking back towards Manningtree from Wrabness

Very quaint church, with bell kept in wooden cage

Super, smashing lovely!  Back in the old country, anuvva dose of walking in Essex and Suffolk.  Got of the train at Harwich International and retraced steps on E2 back to Ramsey, and finished in Harwich Town.  A real route march, as needed to catch last Felixstowe Ferry of the day.  Made it with 10 minutes to spare.  Extremely heavy rucksack made things a bit bleedin' previous...but all very nice and interesting all the same guv...
