Walkers skirt the old gravel pit, 1982 On the way from Great Waltham and back via the White Horse at Pleshey. The tower crane on the horizon towards the right was a help in locating this shot, as it could only have been engaged on extensions to Broomfield Hospital.

Tree by the open road Breeds Road has a spot height of 61 m recorded on OS maps between the camera and the tree. This modest height still commands a long view thanks to the local absence of hedges.

Flooded Gravel Pit Known by the local angling club as 'Tufnell Mere', it contains a large head of carp as well as other fish. The water level of this pit has fluctuated greatly over the years, and is currently much higher than normal, as can be seen by the semi-submerged willow trees at the far end of the pit.

On the wrong path to Gray's Farm My map showed this as the right of way. It was actually diverted to the north side of the stream three years ago to avoid going through gardens at the farm. I must have missed the new waymarkers. This was kindly explained to me by a gentleman at the farm (no sarcasm here).
