Good evening, I havent yet walked any of the Via Beata but am wondering about walking a section at the end of November. I live in Essex and the Bluntisham section seems to be the nearest to me. However I'm concerned it might be too muddy, especially by the river, at this time of year. I'd appreciate your advice. Thank you.
