Towns

Every page the van works from Grays. Thurrock first, then out along the A13 to Basildon and Southend, up the A130 to the Chelmsford side, and the long runs to the Dengie and Colchester. Each page says honestly how far it is.

The map

Markers from the yard outwards

Brass for the home ground, cream for the middle run, dark for the long run. The dashed ring is fifty miles from central London and is there for scale.
