So n=1; and w=warm_overcast_and_threatening_rain_but_none_came.<br /><br />The GPS owed more to Harry Beck's symbolic representation of the London Underground than to spatial accuracy or geographic features on the ground. Near the start it seeks to take the follower through a house in crescent, and after lunch it takes a direct route across the wood at right angles to most paths. Lots of wiggling to approximiate the direction passed areas of dense foliage and fallen trunks. <br /><br />Lunch at the King's Oak in Loughton. Food fine, but service fractionally slow, and full of children with unruly parents. No sign of on-time walkers if there were any.<br /><br />Back on a train about 1545. This walk felt longer than the 12.5km I logged. Near the end I encountered one regular walking in the direction with another group. It was good to discover an area within the underground network that I don't know. And to go through Theydon Bois for the first time, a name one sees on the map but never visits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
