This what happens when you go for a walk with no map and just a vague plan! I didn't bargain for Uphall Industrial Park, with its spiked metal fence, to be sitting so close to the motorway. So in order not to get any police attention for walking along the hard shoulder I had to find a way through trees and brambles in a 20 foot wide long stretch between this wooden fence and the metal one. Uphall Industrial Park occupies the site of the former Uphall Oil Works, and this awkward, perhaps never walked before route eventually finishes at the footpath that goes underneath the motorway near Uphall Station train station.
