Route
Meet Epping Station. Central Line - about every 10-15 minutes

An exploration of the lands beyond the known universe (or the Central Line), starting at Epping station, visiting Copped Hall (outside only), Epping Long Green (the M11 of its day), approaching to within 100 metres of Harlow, Hastingwood, North Weald Bassett nature reserve, Birching Coppice, Gernon Bushes, the western terminus of the Epping and Ongar Railway and the notorious Steward's Green Lane before returning to Epping Station.
Takes in parts of both the Three Forests Way and the Stort Valley Way.
Stopping at Epping Green (7 miles), Hastingwood (10 miles), Gernon Bushes (17 miles)

General Notes
Lunch: Unless there is really poor weather bring a packed lunch (plan is to stop in Mark Bushes). The Rainbow and Dove at Hastingwood (rainbowanddove.com) serves food 12-3 but is both underseated and densely populated, however the beer selection is good. Terrain: Fairly flat, a few short stretches on and across roads. As of 2 April the going was - in places - "soft". No dogs
