Benfleet to Leigh on Sea for drinks/food then walk back or drop out.  Walk approx 4.5m or 8m.  Intending to have a leisurely day out and enjoy views & wildlife, moderate pace.
Train 11.00 Fenchurch St; 11.08 @ West Ham (where I join. NB the ticket office at WH has closed, staff @ Benfleet will sell tickets) frequent return trains.
