(it's all to play for)

At least 3 misspellings I'd say: honeycomb, sauce, blackcurrant. (I don't like "mistakes" as it implies carelessness rather than straightfoward ignorance.)

Not on twitter, but No 1 would get my vote!

I want to find out more about those strange round things so my vote would also go for 1.

... and also not a twitter user sorry.

Odd to do a vote via Twitter, why not just select a number from 1-4 (we're mostly honest), 2 and 4 look to have the most variety, 1 is a typical outdoors trek and 3 appears boring - but this might be a false flag.
btw those round things are different heights and coloured gold, silver and bronze, so I can make a guess.

Hmm, having lived there I know which of these options I think is the most interesting , but at the same time am more interested in the one that passes through the specific (Cliffs Pavilion-boasting) neighbourhood in which I lived.....

No more Twitter-exclusive invitations, please.

No vote here either! To think after 100 years of women's suffrage it's come to this!!!
However, unlike with governments, whichever option is chosen will be worth it!

No vote from me! I don't do Twitter either.

Statistically I’m sampling my readership.
It should deliver exactly the same outcome as a comments box overflowing with single digit numbers.

Not on Twitter here either.
Happy to read any/all. Especially intrigued by ruined castles, cliff lifts (whether working or not), spelling mistakes and a promenade beside a railway line.

Vote made.
A high level of Twitter refuseniks in the readership. They don't know what they're missing!

The Twitter refuseniks do know what they are missing. That's why they are not on Twitter!

Time up.
Final result after 155 votes, thanks...
1) Benfleet → Leigh 38.1%
4) Chalkwell → Leigh 23.9%
2) Westcliff → Southend 20%
3) Southend → Southend 18.1%
So you get to hear more about the one option that was only marginally Southendy in the first place.

I don't use Twitter either but thanks for jogging all sorts of memories. Holidays at Westcliff in the 1950s. My Dad walking out as far as possible into the mud as it was supposed to be good for various ailments.
Then revisiting much of the area on an annual walk from Hadleigh to Shoeburyness with West Essex Ramblers.
I think Hadleigh Farm was set up by The Salvation Army as a training/work centre for young people. Their cafe/restaurant was a bonus at the end of the long trek back to our start point.

Interesting to see the twitter poll was very close, with 177 votes, for the record I went for option 4.

As someone who is on Twitter and voted for option 1, I'm quite pleased with my choice. I was not expecting to read about the 2012 Olympic mountain biking course today but then that sort of thing is part of the fun of coming here in the first place.

"155 votes (and it wasn't close)". We left the EU on a closer margin that that! My choice of walk won though so that's what matters.

I agree - Ian - that there are >= 3 misspellings (though well done on cappuccino), but I think it's flying saucers rather than sauce.

Peter, you're quite right with saucer: my careless mistake. Cappuccino seems fine to me.

Cafe Au Latte is either a misspelling or a mingling/mangling of languages.

1) Hope you had a Rossi’s ice cream on your travels; in my childhood memories, the best ice cream ever.
2) There are a couple of people whose tweets I enjoy, but recently Twitter made it all but impossible to look at their feeds without joining. So now I get bombarded with mindless ads and clickbait every time I look at Rob Baker or Martine Croxall’s tweets and am seriously thinking of becoming a Twitter refusenik. Thank goodness for an old-fashioned blog.
