Looking at travel options... Getting there on Friday evening will be easy - I'm going to get the train up to Gravesend then use the ferry to Tilbury and ride the 32 miles to Dunmow.
Will then get the train home on Sunday. What's the best/nearest station to Dunmow for trains back to London? Looks like Stansted Airport, but that's about twice the price of going from Stansted Mountfitchet, which is a bit further away - about the same distance as Bishop's Stortford. Which would be the nicer ride - Dunmow to Mountfitchet or Dunmow to BS? Any other options worth considering?
ETA: Stansted Airport website says folding bikes only on the Stansted Express. Arses. And Cross Country trains are booking only, apparently. Looked at trains from Braintree, but it seems there are planned engineering works on the Sunday so it's a replacement bus service as far as Chelmsford. Seems the best option might be to ride back from Dunmow to Chelmsford and get the train from there. Or maybe, depending on how I feel, ride all the way back to that London...
