Navestock Heath
A drive from Woodford, Sun, 21 Nov 2021 by David Howard
One of my near winter trips where it's a rush to keep the light before it's done. This covered the small roads beyond Loughton, in between the main roads I've used before that lead somewhere, as well as Loughton itself where I hadn't covered much either. The usual farms and narrow lanes ran behind the suburban areas beyond the Central Line, and covered some interesting views coming back into London itself. There's still the constant chance of getting jammed on the North Circular as it only needs one broken down vehicle to cause a long tailback, but can be easy when it's clear.
