The last day was tough as my calf was very sore right from the start. The first half of the day was through countryside, with a mixture of farming and woodland. The last awareness at Tesco's in Rainham was very busy with shoppers, and Patsy and I managed to give out leaflets and speak to some of them, one of whom took a leaflet and then returned to say he thought he might actually have fibromyalgia.

The latter half was along the side of the Thames, thankfully very flat with a cooling breeze.  Looking across the water I could make out the landmarks of the first day's journey on the opposite bank and there in the distance again was the Dartford Bridge.

I was very relieved to arrive at Purfleet Station which marks the end of the London Loop.

There are parts of the walk that I would want to visit again and spend more time looking around and others that I felt were only included to join up the sections, but overall this was a worthwhile expedition.  I feel my fitness level has improved, so a personal bonus there.  More importantly more people are aware of fibromyalgia and more information is available in the areas I walked through.
