I went straight down private road. Alternative here, is rather than the footpath between the railway and golf course, which gets very muddy in winter, go all the way down private road and then across Hylands park to Writtle....

The last half a mile or so of this route, in Basildon, walks alongside a ring road that isn't meant for pedestrians and even if you were to brave the verges you'd have a hard time crossing the roundabout. BilBas 2 fixes that problem and also uses a local nature reserve near Billericay for a greener and quieter walk which is only 450m longer...

Between Billericay and Stock it's a lower quality: very muddy at parts and Stock golf course has a particularly badly marked footpath that seems to go right in the middle of holes!

We had intended to go the entire way to Billericay but there is a section of Heath Road, just past Ramsden Heath, where the pavement ends and you have to walk on the road or narrow grassy verge....
