Elsenham to Standon Loop
Currently several road closures especially Parsonage Lane but all passable by foot or bike.
Probably better to find a way around Hall Rd at the eastern edge of Stansted Airport as busy with lorries & fast moving cars

Off / On Road Around the Airport
Extremely stoney / rocky down Samson's Lane but at least without winter puddles you can see the big ones. Not sure I'd bother again. More brambles to cut back on the walking footpath parts

That's really impressive to find 4000ft in that area! I just wish we had some longer climbs to get the endurance built up! And preferably not on road like the 3 sisters!
