Having had a quick check on the route planner it is 8miles further from Kent[39.6 as against31.4]and takes about 35minutes on a bike[I work at the other side of the Dartford Bridge and my transit time is 30-35mins by bike & 40-45 by car] The difference between Battlebridge and Witham being16.6miles for anybody coming up the A130.
Now Norwich is a lot further than that
and I'm only trying to do my bit for the environment by
saving fuel and help keep brewers and associated staff in jobs
Not to be taken seriously
