Todays little round the corner trip

Had a quick trip out for an easy 15 miles around the rural areas of Essex - up to Latchingdon and then back to Rayleigh so wasnt really much of a push apart from the uphill just outside of South Woodham Ferrers towards Hyde Hall the Royal Horticultural Society Gardens.  Well worth a visit but for some reason it wasnt open at 6.45 this morning.
