Kings Oak Restaurant, Epping Forest

Highlight • Restaurant

Possible to get some refreshments here. Burgers and hotdogs, cold drinks or coffee. Just about food- don't expect mind-blowing experience. It gives you calories but that's it. Well price is not more than £5 so can't really complain. Hehe

Great Flowy Trails of Epping Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The trails are separated by bits of grass - when you exit one trail, keep going straight ahead across the grass patch and you will find the entrance to another. Super flowy, not very technical, a lot of fun :)
