However, as soon as we reach Woking, we realise we left something back in London. We saunter over the footbridge and await the 2322 SWR service back to London Waterloo, arriving at 0004 in the very wee hours of Tuesday morning.

Assuming it is a schoolday, we take the First Essex 175 service at 0802 to Colchester Stanwell St, arriving at 0835 on Wednesday morning.

Can't seem to get anywhere earlier without a long walk.

It's a do-able walk - cause I've done it!

Anyway, we hang around for a bit before skipping town and boarding the 0855 First Essex number 70 bus to Coggeshall, Market Hill, arriving at 0932 Wednesday morning.
