Whaddon and west

Posted by davidearl on 3 July 2008 in English.

I was going to make a start Huntingdon on Tuesday, but it was so hot I thought cycling round a town wasn't going to be particularly pleasant, so instead I filled in some rural holes either side of the A1198 Ermine Street, the Royston to Huntingdon road, and completed:
- Whaddon
- Bassingbourn barracks (what of it I could do without infringing the "restricted place as defined by the Official Secrets Act")
- Wimpole village (stopped for lunch at the National Trust's Wimpole Hall, but that's been pretty thoroughly done already)
- Arrington (had had some attention, but was not previously complete)
- Croydon (ditto)
- Shingay-cum-Wendy
- Steeple Morden (had had some attention but was disappointingly arbitrary in what had been done)
- Ashwell (which is over the border in Hertfordshire)
- Odsey (Ashwell & Morden Station)

Ashwell's a pleasant place, but bigger than I was expecting (pop. about 1700) at the end of a long hot day, and on the side of a hill too. But it seemed silly not to finish it since I was there, so I was a bit later back than I intended.

Location: Steeple Morden, South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, England, United Kingdom
