We remain only with the 301 here, so all we can do is wait for the 2324 Arriva Herts & Essex service 301 to Welwyn Garden City (Bus Station), arriving there at 2345 on Saturday evening.

We are over half-a-mile from the railway station, and the only bus route in Stansted Mountfitchet on a Sunday is the aforementioned 510. Therefore we await the next journey on the Arriva Herts & Essex 510, departing at 0528, alighting at Stansted Airport Coach Station at 0540 on Sunday.

Well, there are two more services going four more stops along the route, or a service back to Norwich city centre where we've just come from, so, if we're permitted to make use of the relaxation rule half an hour early (bearing in mind it is a Sunday), we return in the morning to the bus stop on the opposite side of the road at Longwater Gravel for the 0611 First Norfolk & Suffolk Red Line service 24A to Thorpe St Andrew (Eastern Road), arriving there at 0715 on Monday morning.

To avoid a return trip into Norwich, we walk the 400 yards to Sainsburys (which fortunately has a cafe which serves breakfast) and wait for the 09:06 Konektbus service to Horning (Mill Hill) where we arrive at 09:57 on Monday morning.

Sounds reasonable, and a fine destination too.

I know of the Roy's department store in Wroxham, having been there many times over the years, but I was unaware that they had also opened a department store in Hoveton on the other side of the river.
