Short video on goldhanger, sea wall chequers 1981

He wasn't a hardened criminal and had never even been arrested before, hence probably the big time confidence and naivety.

For me his biggest bollock dropped was confiding in Julie, but we will never know the extent of Julie's true intentions, I have leaned heavy to a conspiracy which went sour after her jilting.

Walking is not tiring for a 24 year old guy, even though I don't believe he walked.

8.4 miles would be tiring.

No point walking The Sea Wall. It was cycle friendly.

8.4 miles would be tiring.

As you say 500k was up for grabs

He could always get a good night sleep on the Wednesday night.

Walking tiredness.

Agree he would be very determined regarding the journey.

[Adam]

Don't believe he would have to be that determined or psyched up to cycle 4.2 miles. It was a dream route.

However once at WHF he would have to psyche himself up.

[ILB]

Depends on the individual.

I would go via the back garden and adjoining field.

You would cycle up Head and Fish Street.

As usual, options for him.

The cottages and neighbours houses were compact.

If anything him exiting via the back may alert the neighbours if they sleep in the backbedroom which looks over the back garden.

They're may be a dog which could be alerted. So many what ifs

Whatever route he took it would have involved a element of risk. He succeeded in the sense he wasn't seen. We both can't speak for him.

The end of the back garden & field is a long way from the properties.

As said, as a one off cycle ride with potential huge rewards, I would cycle to the Sea Wall entrance via the back garden & field edge.

From a picture of Bambers back garden it shows it to be small and compact with a hanging tree.

Short of him confessing I guess we will never know.

Just measured it. From his cottage to the field is 94 yards.

If he is going to cycle up Head & Fish Street he might as well cycle the BHL route.

However the prosecution say he cycled The Sea Wall route.

[ILB]

May have done some trial runs

Car and cycle.

[ILB]

If he's familiar with the sea wall route as you make him out to be he wouldn't need a trial run. He'd know it well.

Trial runs probably point more to the fact to test the waters to see if anybody had seen him knocking about and mention it to him
