2004-5 London Loop

After completing the delightful Capital Ring, we moved on to the London Loop. It is further out from London, but within the M25, and is about 150 miles. We started in July 2004 and walking monthly stages of about 10 miles, we completed at the end of 2005. This was yet another excellent route to walk. Many thanks to David Sharp, the author of the route guide and London Loop project leader.
