I was joined by my mate Jake on this 4.5 mile day walk to mark my 30th birthday.
The started and finished in the lovely little historic village of Much Hadham.
The weather was cold but sunny, perfect walking conditions. Along the route we saw traces of an old windmill, a disused railway line and bridge, the River Ash, an old church and the Bishop's Palace.
