Went for a longish bike ride today and on the way took in the village of Little Thetford, just west of the River Cam between Cambridge and Ely. Though only small, it is significantly the only settlement along the A10 not mapped until now between the two cities, which means we now have complete mapping all the way from Saffron Walden in the south to Littleport in the north (a distance of some 65km) and from Melbourn and Papworth in the west to Newmarket in the east (some 45km, though it narrows down a lot at the northern end).
On the other side of the river, after following the already mapped NCN11 from Ely to Wicken, added the fen drove road between Wicken and Swaffham Prior via the little village of Upware also completes a nice big section - I had already plotted this road approximately from NPE (and it wasn't far off), but I had no detail for Upware itself - not least the Five Miles From Anywhere pub on the riverbank where a pint of Guiness went down a treat on this beautifully warm and sunny day.
