Saffron Walden (south-west), Strethall and Elmdon (Essex)
Posted by davidearl on 3 May 2008 in English.Third and final trip to Saffron Walden on Friday, changes now uploaded. Saffron Walden now complete. Nothing of any great note in the area that remained to be filled in, except that SW has horrendous traffic problems for a place of its size, and despite the fact that the M11 bypasses the twon, and even the old A11 trunk road also bypasses the town. Everywhere there were queues, and the one-way system doesn't help that much. Where is everyone going in the middle of a Friday? It's a town where you could walk from one end to the other in half an hour, yet everyone seems to drive everywhere all the time.
To finish off this delightfully sunny day I surveyed the much pleasanter rolling hills west of SW to fill in a hole this side of the Cambs-Essex border containing the small villages of Strethall (which seems to be the church and not much else), Elmdon and Littlebury Green. This means that everything north of the B1039 SW to Royston Road is now complete right up to Cambridge and beyond, and north east of SW as far as the edge of Haverhill.
Royston, Hertfordshire, should perhaps be my next target.
