Saturday, 25 July 2026, starting at 10am, at The Chequers, Great Tey (CO6 1JS).

This is a 4.3mile walk, taking in tiny bits of the Essex Way, crossing and following the fledgling Roman River and across typical flat Essex agricultural land. Yesterday it seemed like an autumn harvest in the middle of summer! There are no stiles, it is dog friendly, with some short sections on quiet lanes and tracks.

If you would like to stay for lunch, the menus can be found on The Chequers' Facebook page but menus will also be available at the start of the walk. We are advised to pre-order our meals. The pub will be open for toilet access from around 9.45am.

Please let Ray know if you would like to join either of these walks. You may contact Ray through email (goingwalkabout.colne@gmail.com ) or call, text or WhatsApp on 07734450221. Also, if you need a lift, or can offer one (for either walk) , please let Ray know.

All participants join these walks at their own risk. Your safety, comfort and enjoyment are our main concern, we may offer advice in good faith but cannot be held liable if the advice is ignored or turns out to be incorrect.
