Thanks for posting these photos, they show just what I thought that the bike would be smothered in all sorts of stuff. Also in total darkness quite tricky to navigate.

Do you have a suggestion of where he turned off the sea wall up to WHF?
I have walked this wall in the 1980's when I lived at Tollesbury. They are not representative of how they were all those years ago. The surface has been improved and the remnants of the old style that has been replaced are visible.

This is a photo taken during the day.

GG said he cycled the Sea Wall at 10pm. No reason to doubt an independent blog.

Yes I have read several reports the route was pretty rough back then Bubo, poor old Adam is so bitter and twisted he thinks it was like the M1 complete with lights.

The blog If you read it is pro guilt

Do you accept GG could have taken a photo of that sign using his camera phone at night?

Why would GG take a picture of the sea wall in the day time in broad daylight

Then wait house before cycling?

In a remote part of Essex?

Wilkinson cycled it in 85. Said it was very good terrain.

The pictures Hardy and ILB put up does show good terrain.

What happened to the marina you said it passed?

Because it had writing on and he was going to post a picture of it in his blog?

Maybe he did something else. And/or cycled the other route.

By his own admission he did the other routes in February 2021 and the sea wall in July 2021

Don't think it is pro guilt.

He cycled the Sea Wall at 10pm and reported his findings as he found them.
