Meet 8.45 on station seats in middle of concourse for 9.02 train to Shenfield for a 50 to 60 mile ride through the Essex countryside ending in Southend at a beachside cafe. Train back from Southend. Medium difficulty. We will not finish early..I'm guessing with stops, at least 8 hours, if not a touch more. I'm hoping to stop at the Hanningfield Reservoir cafe, a pub in Paglesham and was hoping to stop in Old Leigh for a drink and maybe food at the end of the ride. A single from London to Southend plus a single from Leigh on sea to London as they are two different lines, Route is here https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13714142
