Brightlingsea Circular
Sunday 02 May 2021
We could see across the River Colne to Brightlingsea on a previous walk around Mersea and were intrigued by our companions’ lack of enthusiasm for the town. We thought we would go and check it out with a bit of a walk around Brightlingsea Marsh National Nature Reserve.
Steeple Creek
Sunday 26 July 2020
“Steeple?” said one of our friends. “Why Steeple? There is nothing there!”
Circular Walk from Beeleigh Falls
Sunday 19 July 2020
This weekend we were in Essex again. We were lucky enough to get a pitch on a fantastic campsite and meet up with our friend, Sioban, for a walk in the beautiful Essex countryside.
Mersea Island Circumnavigation
Sunday 12 July 2020
We needed to get out in the Bongo but didn’t want to travel too far with all of the lockdown restrictions. Quite by chance, I saw a post on a Facebook group one evening, and after a brief exchange of messages on Facebook, I had managed to book us on to a campsite that I had never heard of before located in a part of Essex I had never heard of before.
Socially Distant in Shoreham
Saturday 20 June 2020
Like many, we have not walked for months. During the ‘lock-down’, imposed as a result of coronavirus, we managed to walk around the local estate for an hour a day for exercise and, on one occasion, we even managed a six-mile walk to a small village next to us. But these were not ‘proper’ walks.
Minster to Sheerness
Sunday 26 January 2020
A drive out to Minster in the Bongo is not as bad as some might think. I am not entirely sure what this stigma is with the Isle of Sheppey, not being a local, but I find Minster quite a nice place to park up and stroll along the coast a little.
Mud Ado About Hadham
Sunday 12 January 2020
Much Hadham is a small quintessentially English village in the Hertfordshire countryside that is slightly west of Stanstead Airport and perhaps, more importantly, the starting point of the first Team South East walk of 2020.
Dungeness to Rye
Sunday 06 October 2019
At 6 am I woke up to the sound of engines starting. Some of my neighbours were moving on. My attention then moved on to the crazed tapping on the roof of ‘Bianca Bongo’. It was raining. Heavily.
Folkestone to Dungeness
Saturday 05 October 2019
It has been five and a half years since I was last at Folkestone. Since then, I had tried a few times to sort out a walk from Folkestone to Rye, but each time I was unable to find affordable accommodation and wild camping options didn’t really appeal to me either. The area around Dungeness is a completely open shingle beach with no shelter from the elements and nowhere private too, well, you know.
Orchard Pods
Saturday 28 September 2019
After a comfortable night in the Bongo on the Isle of Sheppey, Susan and I made our way over to Queenborough to do a little exploring. It was my first time on Sheppey and I was finding the whole area fascinating.
