Hi all,

I've got a photoshoot on Sunday morning and need a good location.

We need a forest that members of the public can go through, that's open at 9am. And that's relatively close to Basildon.

Any ideas people?

I'm looking on a Map now.

Thanks all

Jake

EDIT: Just seen Thorndon Country Park which is right next door to Basildon, anyone been there? know what the location is like? Chances of being mauled by chavs at 9am?

Not any more!

It's a good big place though, and quite pretty. It's about 15 miles from Basildon.
