Southend on Sea clockwise Circular trip. 10 of us (Patrick, Brian, Len (DT), Malcolm (Windmills and Tide Mills & NNR Rep), Roger (Hon Sec), Colin, Tim (SAAL), Dudley (Northern Branch), SER Bob and Jim (President) assembled at London Liverpool St catching the Greater Anglia 10.55 service to Southend Victoria. An enjoyable lunch at The Olde Trout Inn followed by a stroll through the town towards Southend Pier. Some of the group took the Pier Railway to the end and back and a handful walked the length of the pier 1.34 miles to the end, taking the train back to the shore 1.25 miles. We then returned using the c2c service from Southend Central back to London Fenchurch Street around 3.45pm time. A most enjoyable day out to the Thames estuary and Southend Pier.
