(Covid-19_1 Exercise) Callan Grove Green
Mr Johnson said I could leave the house once a day for a bike ride; I took him at his word! For the rest of the exercise most of the time I was never less than 100m from the next person or passing them at a good distance doing about 8kph.
Sadly Thurrock Council want to build on this green space see https://consult.thurrock.gov.uk/SaveCallanGrovePetition?tool=survey_tool&tool_id=sign-petition&ts=1585077595#tool_tab it is a bit of a green desert but the 1950's planners put it there for sound reasons and those reasons haven't changed at all in 60+ years.

Morning Mist in Mardyke Valley
Technically the path behind the fence on the right is a permissive link for horse traffic. It follows the water meadows of the Mardyke River valley through the country park from Stifford Bridge to Ship Lane Aveley, it is not marked as a public right of way on OS Maps. Clearly walkers vote with their feet and stay to the left of the fence. The photograph was taken at the edge of Brannets Wood (the second oldest woodland in Essex) http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/recreation.nsf/LUWebDocsByKey/EnglandEssexNoForestThamesChaseCommunityForestMardykeWoods looking towards the A13/M25 interchange.
