Effing Epping Forest

It just wasn't working today. Every ache and niggle, every hill, falling into a muddy puddle and having an argument with a bush (running around with deep, bleeding scratches).

Still, the further you go up Epping Forest, the better it gets. Particularly from Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge and up (Connaught Water, Green Ride, High Beach, etc.) into the areas where you can look for the houses you would buy if you won the lottery. But then you come out onto the top of the hill, and can look over at how Sainsbury's behemoth distribution depot has completely blotted the view of Waltham Abbey. Luvverly.
