The lanes painted on the approach to this roundabout are stupid. There are two lanes, one with an arrow left and one with an straight arrow. If you want to go straight on you need to be in the lane with the left arrow rather than the straight arrow. If you want to go right you need to be in the lane with the straight arrow.

Could add lanes:*=* to give people with sat-navs a heads up.

Somewhere around here there is an area called "Warndon Villages".

This 40mph section has had it's speed limit signs covered with black plastic sheeting (bin bags?). Perhaps this is a precursor to the signs being removed.

This shop seems to be empty now.

The track heading South is signposted as "The Maurice Britton Walk". Need to find another signpost the other end to determine extent.

Lots of bamboo on the north site of the public footpath. Looks like it might be an ornamental garden. Need to find extent to exclude from Wivenhoe Woods.
