The lunch pub is more of a restaurant with some mixed reviews -- but service fast enough that the three diners and the three sandwich eaters were able to set off together for the afternoon leg under somewhat clearer skies (giving hope to one (at least) that the full moon might break through the cloud cover). Two opted for the shorter circular route back to South Woodham Ferrers and 4 carried on along the main route to North Fambridge, reaching the charming Ferry Inn just as it got dark at 4:30 PM. We had time for one quick drink before making our way to the station for the 5:21, sadly with no moon insight....maybe next month....Stargazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207931214700279104noreply@blogger.com
