Walk
Distance: 4.8 miles
On the final day we set out from Grays and head to Tilbury, where this walk joins the final walk of the T100 walking festival. At the edge of Tilbury Town we all make our way to Tilbury Fort along the new Fort Road with views of the Thames and local farmland. At Tilbury Fort we are looking forwards to a big finale celebration to which everyone on this walk is invited!
If this walk is fully booked, you can book on the T100 walk from Tilbury station instead.

To all Walkers
The route for this walk has changed significantly due to key paths being closed and to avoid a dangerous road. This means that mile markers 493 to 500 will move on the day of the walk. Their positions on the Storymap will remain the same.
There are two official meeting locations per day; at the start and near the mid-point. If you only wish to walk your one-mile stretch and join the walking party as it comes through your section, you can specify to meet ‘at my mile’ on the booking form. If you are meeting ‘at my mile’, please understand it is difficult for us to specify the exact time the main walking party will arrive. To help you estimate this, use the scheduled times below and add 30 mins per mile to get to your mile. We are using a walking speed of 2 miles an hour as a guide.
Please email info@beachofdreams.co.uk with any queries.
