Ongar to Chigwell, 15.7 miles. Bookended by two former Great Eastern Railway stations that have passed into new ownership, this stretch of the Three Forests Way took me south east from Ongar through some quite remote countryside either side of the M25 on the north eastern fringe of Greater...

Forest Green Rovers have been relegated back to the National League after seven years in the EFL. Sutton United look likely to join them after three years among the bigger boys. Both made questionable managerial choices this season, and Dale Vince at FGR has been unusually quiet - has he lost...

Cork city is a fantastic day out but you'll need all day. If you can fit in a return trip to Cobh while you're there then that's worth doing instead. You can see the best bits in an hour - St. Colman's Cathedral, the Deck of Cards on West View Terrace, the Annie Moore statue and the seafront -...

When considering the travails of Truro and Taunton in this regard it would appear to be so. THC

No problems at all, I'm pleased to say. :E If it's a still day then it is blissfully peaceful thereabouts. This is the best time of year to walk the coast in Essex as the paths will soon become overgrown and practically impassable in places. I've a couple more day walks to fit in on that...

A Rangers fan refereeing this fixture is not a new thing; it goes back years. Beaton today, Bobby Madden, Mike McCurry, Hugh Dallas, Tiny Wharton... it's a long list. THC

Retford to Lincoln, 47 miles. This two-day walk took in three contrasting waterways in roughly equal measure, firstly the lower Chesterfield Canal from Retford through remote north Nottinghamshire to the River Trent, then south along the tidal Trent, overnighting at Gainsborough across the...

Shoeburyness to Rochford, 18 miles. Back onto the England Coast Path, first avoiding the MoD's strange buildings and firing ranges before reaching the pretty village of Great Wakering. Crossing Wakering Common, I left the intrepid explorers bound for the Broomway to gamble with the spring...

They have plenty of form in trashing Glasgow city centre but the example you cite is probably most widely known beyond Scotland. THC

Our fans don't trash city centres when we lose cup finals. Our fans didn't let our club die. Best I leave it there. ;) THC

My pleasure 8-) High summer would be your best bet to walk it in a day, I'd imagine. I wouldn't fancy being out on the broads after dark! THC

I do not think any development corporation will stretch that far, either in remit or geography; devolution is perhaps a more pertinent factor to consider here. While previous administrations have faced well-publicised issues, the C&P combined authority will be the conduit for any post-election...

All but the first mile is marked on OS Explorer (1:25,000) map OL40 The Broads (you'll need the Norwich map for the first bit). If you have the OS interactive app it's clearly marked thereon but if not the following resources may be useful: LDWA...

Norwich to Great Yarmouth, 39 miles. The Wherryman's Way footpath, one of the excellent Norfolk Trails network, was my muse for a two day walk, starting in Norwich and following the river Wensum through Trowse and out into Broads country. A couple of decent pubs in the first ten miles was the...

I travelled from Berlin HBf to London on Monday last, intending to do so via Amsterdam. The first leg, ICE148 0806 Berlin HBf-Amsterdam Centraal, was cancelled so after talking to the nice lady in the ticket office I took the 0850 Berlin HBf-Köln HBf and changed there to the 1445 Köln...

Maldon to Tollesbury, 16 miles. A walk along the newly-minted England Coast Path with pit stops at Heybridge Basin and Goldhanger. Pubs plenty busy on this first day of spring. A walk bathed in sunshine. THC

I'm at West Ealing so took the opportunity to photograph the new charging equipment now in place. THC

Klein Glienicke to Potsdam, 8.4 miles. Starting right on the former East-West border in the woods south west of Berlin, I walked across the Bridge of Spies and around the Havel river, stopping at the waterside Meierei brewery before climbing through the Volkspark up to Schloss Sans Souci and...

Cologne connected 8-) ICE651 was 25 late off Köln Messe Deutz and I'm on the way to Berlin. Got to see the Wuppertaler Schwebebahn up close as a bonus. THC

Thank you @rvdborgt and @peterblue for your helpful replies 8-) THC
