We are very fortunate indeed to be able to spend our first overnight in 5* luxury courtesy of James' father in law. These are the views from his flat. 
This is much needed after the first day. We left a little later than anticipated after taking a tour around the NICU. It was really humbling to see the unit in action and it certainly hammered home why we were undertaking this trip. Some of the babies were smaller than you could possibly imagine and to see the care that they were being given was really inspiring.
It's been a very sunny, hot day and I think that if we're to be completely honest, we'd underestimated how hilly Essex was, having come from Ely, which is flatter than an ironing board. It was a bit of a shock to the system.
We're about to head off this morning for a slightly shorter day today down to the south coast. Unfortunately, shorter doesn't coincide with flatter and our elevation gain is +800 feet from yesterday's total of 900feet.
