- Allow 4 to 5 hours to do the full walk or about 3 hours if you intend to leave the walk at North Weald. Add an hour or so for lunch and another 40 minutes if stopping for a late afternoon thirst quencher at the 📍 Garnon Bushes
- There are three motorway crossings (two underpasses and one bridge). These crossings are at right-angles to the motorway direction and noise is fairly minimal but will depend on wind direction
- The first section of the walk crosses some marshland so boots are recommended.
- Some of the boardwalks at the beginning of the walk are a little rotten in places
- About 3km of the walk is on quiet tarmac roads, but there are grassy verges alongside.
- Stratford Station may be busy on the return journey if West Ham are playing at Home
