 Erith to Old Bexley - Day 1 - London Loop - Long-Distance Walks with Mark Moxon
Huge ships chug up the river at this point, and littering the landscape are obvious signs of man's endeavour; the Dartford power station stands erect in the distance, and over the river the mounds of greenery aren't natural hills, but the results of landfill.

Luckily the Loop soon ducks off the road and back to the River Cray, where I bumped into a group of elderly walkers who nodded with the friendly recognition of fellow walkers; the full backpack I was heaving round the route in training for Land's End to John o'Groats was a bit of a giveaway.

 +Jonhouk ++matthew 6:25-34 yep
These trails are almost exclusively on sand and hardpack, and extremely hilly, so don’t run out of gas with 6 miles left to go (as my dog always seems to do).
Also, some of these runs are longer than 15 miles so it might be better for some people to do an out-and-back run rather than a full loop, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.
Pretty much, my advice is to just find a trailhead (ask me or a veteran) and go for an exploratory run and find the trails yourself; those are the best runs anyway.
