Day 3 (Have I Failed already?)

Today was exhausting. It started well, bombing through London as far as Greenwich and then my sat nav decided not to nav anymore. So I got lost, very lost. After waisting 2 hours going round and around I realised that the compass was still working on the sat nav and headed off on a vaguely north/north east direction, as Harwich was my destination. I found Barking, and lots of horrible busy roads, I found Chigwell, and lots of horrible busy roads, I found Epping, and lots of horrible busy roads and finally found Chelmsford. I ate, rested and re-found the cycle route I planned to follow. So I followed it. But I was late, and the ferry has a scheduled departure. So I bombed to Colchester by about half 9 and waived a white flag and jumped on the train. Good lord trains are ace. All you do is sit there and then they take you to your destination! Utter luxury. And utter relief as I made my ferry, and felt like as I pushed my bike on board!
