London Outer Orbital Path

I finally completed the London Outer Orbital Path today! It's about 150 miles (245 km) long and almost completely encircles Greater London; it's clearly visible on my iNaturalist observations map. There are 24 sections. I completed most of them in 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic but had three sections remaining: two in Essex near Chigwell, and one in Surrey between Banstead and Ewell, which was the section I walked today. The botanical highlight of this final stretch was finding Thesium humifusum growing in a chalk grassland patch along the edge of a golf course!
